Block of Iron

1Block states
YesItem form

The Block of Iron is a storage block crafted from iron ingots. It is a solid block that players make by combining the metal into a more compact form.

Players mine it with a pickaxe, and a stone tool or better is needed for it to drop anything. When broken, it drops itself as an Iron Block. It also serves as an ingredient in two crafting recipes.
