Where Found

Iron ore can be found deep below the surface, some 50-90 blocks into bedrock, sometimes in veins or just in single blocks. The further down a blockhead goes, the more likely it is to encounter iron ore. Iron ore can be harvested by hand (one ore), a magnet (five ore), or a pickaxe (three ore times any gem multiplier).

Iron ore can be crafted at a press from two black sand.
