Iron is the next tier of tools and weapons, specifically swords, in Minecraft after stone. It is relatively common, making it an adequate and preferred material for tools and weapons. Not only that, but iron is used in many crafting recipes later in-game. Without iron, you cannot progress to the next tiers. Here is a simple guide on how to find iron in Minecraft.

Steps

  1. 1

    Get yourself a wooden pickaxe. The first pickaxe you will craft will be made out of wood, which will be used to mine stone.

  2. 2

    Get yourself a stone pickaxe. The stone will be necessary to break the iron blocks down in order to get the material. To craft one, place three cobblestones (mined from stone with a wooden pickaxe) on the top row of the crafting table, and place 2 sticks below it, resembling the shape of a pickaxe.

  3. 3

    Get torches. You will need to bring some torches with you, as it can get dark and impossible to see. To do this, you place one stick on your crafting area/table and one piece of coal or charcoal above it.

  4. 4

    Get a lot of dirt. You might not always need it, but if you're ever in a sticky situation while mining, you're going to need cheap and abundant dirt to get yourself out of it.

  5. 5

    Find a suitable cave. Caves are the best way to find iron ores. They usually appear in veins at a time. Stop wasting your time digging down from the surface, as this will only yield a small chance of success.

  6. 6

    Investigate all blocks surrounding any iron you find. Iron occurs in veins, or groups, so if you find one, there is likely more nearby. Check diagonal blocks as well. The usual size of a vein is 2x2x2 blocks.

    • Iron looks like peach or pink-ish splotches on grey stone.
  7. 7

    Place torches as necessary. Recover them when you can, but only if it's a one-time mining trip. Otherwise, keep it there or else monsters will spawn in the dark.

  8. 8

    Mind your vertical level. Using your map or the debug mode, check out the "Y" axis: this indicates your elevation. Remember that iron ore only occurs from levels 1-63.

  9. 9

    Use a furnace to turn the iron ore into ingots. Iron ore is almost of no benefit to you, and only the iron ingots are useful.

  10. 10

    Use the iron to make better tools and armor. Enjoy!

  • Question

    Why do I have to make an iron tool? Why can't I make armor instead?

    Community Answer

    Armor is usually made when you have a good amount of iron to spend, as armor needs a lot of Iron. Also, certain ores (such as the valuable diamond) need an Iron tool in order to be mined.

  • Question

    Can iron be found near lava with diamonds?

    Community Answer

    Craft it by placing a piece of redstone in the middle of your crafting table and iron at the sides, top and bottom (but not the corners).

  • Question

    What if you don't have any caves?

    Community Answer

    Then you must make a mine. Dig down to a suitable level and begin branch mining. You will probably mine into a cave at some point. Continue from there.

  • Question

    Can I enter a village and kill an iron golem?

    Community Answer

    You can, but this may result in the golem trying to kill you. If you hurt just one villager, all the iron golems (even the ones that just spawned) will try to kill you. Bring armor and weapons. Killing the golem might be useful if you're short on iron.

  • Question

    How long does it take to dig down to find iron?

    Community Answer

    There is no definite answer for this; it depends on how deep the ore is. You can also get iron from killing Zombies, but its very rare.

  • Question

    Is some iron near diamonds?

    Banana Head

    Not usually. Minecraft tries to space out the ores.

  • Question

    What if I don't find caves if I dig down to find iron?

    Community Answer

    As the author says, don't waste your time digging straight down. Most of the time the only thing you will find that way is cobblestone. Instead, look around your area for any caves or natural entrances into cobblestone,

  • Question

    If I am mining in a two block space, what are the chances of finding iron ore?

    Community Answer

    This varies on the world generated, but iron is fairly common. You will find some after searching hard enough.

  • Looking around in natural caves will give the highest chance of getting iron.

  • Try not to start digging in sand or gravel, as it'll collapse on top of you and you'll eventually suffocate.

  • Keep torches handy while mining.

  • Only mine Iron ores using a stone pickaxe or better. If mined by a Wooden Pickaxe or by hand, it will drop nothing.

  • Iron is used to craft lots of things you need as you progress in the game. It's important that you find some as quick as you can.

  • Try the seed 8675309 on creative. Fly up and you will see that there is a part of land with exposed coal and iron and a piece in the water. You can walk there on survival mode (it's only 20 something blocks away straight or to your right) and live! 7 blocks of exposed iron and many blocks of coal. There is a block of iron in the lake near you, not the ocean. There are about 13 sheep in the grass too so you don't have to travel. They grow from babies to adults in 1 min. Enjoy and you'll find tons of loot under the stone!

  • If you make a hole that will allow monsters in your mine close it because if a monster gets in it is hard for you and the monster to get out.

Thanks for submitting a tip for review!
