Iron Ingots are one of the more useful created resources in The Blockheads.

Appearance

Ingots are oblongs with rounded ends and shading to suggest additional rounding. To look like iron, it's colored gray with a light top and dark bottom. It can be told from steel by its thinner shape and slightly darker overall color.

Where Found

Iron ingots are sometimes found inside golden chests spawned with a world, or generated as bonuses by a gold pickaxe or meditation.

The smelting of an iron ingot can be done at a Lvl. 2 furnace or an electric furnace.
