So, how exactly do you make iron in Minecraft? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with a simple guide to get you started on your iron-making journey.

The Step-By-Step Guide to Making Iron

Making iron in Minecraft isn’t about creating the material from scratch but rather finding and smelting it. First, you need to mine iron ore. Iron ore blocks look like stone blocks with beige flecks and can be found in caves and cliffs. Use a stone pickaxe or higher to mine the ore.

Once you’ve collected iron ore, you’ll need to smelt it in a furnace to create iron ingots. To do this, place your iron ore at the top slot of your furnace interface and fuel (like coal, wood, or charcoal) at the bottom slot. After a short time, the ore will smelt into iron ingots, ready for crafting!
