The Iron Chain is a decorative block that players craft from iron ingots and iron nuggets. It can be waterlogged, so it holds water in the same space it occupies. When broken, it drops itself.

Players use the Iron Chain as an ingredient in 13 different recipes, which makes it a useful crafting material as well as a building piece.
