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 Ingot|steel]] by its thinner shape and slightly darker overall color.

Iron ingots are sometimes found inside [[Golden Chest|golden chests]] spawned with a [[world]]. They can also obtained as bonuses for [[Meditate|meditating]] or by the use of a [[Gold Tool|gold pickaxe]].


The smelting of an iron ingot can be done at a [[Furnace#Level 2|Lvl. 2 furnace]] or an [[Electric Furnace|electric furnace]].
The smelting of an iron ingot can be done at any [[Furnace#Level 2|furnace above level 1]] ([[Electric Furnace|electric furnaces]] are fine as well):

==Uses==
Iron ingots can be used to craft iron [[Tool|tools]], [[Reinforced Platform|reinforced platforms]], [[Black Window|black windows]], [[Steel Ingot|steel]], [[Magnet|magnets]], [[Iron Block|iron blocks]], [[Iron Pot|iron pots]], [[Safe|safes]], [[Iron Door|iron doors]] and [[Iron Trapdoor|trapdoors]], [[Display Cabinet|display cabinets]], iron [[Armor|armor]], and [[Electric Furnace|electric furnaces]]. They can be used to upgrade [[Armor Bench|armor benches]] to [[Armor Bench#Level 2|level 2]] and [[Tool Bench|tool benches]] to [[Tool Bench#Level 4|level 4]]. Since they are used to make [[Steel Ingot|steel]], they are valuable even late in the [[The Blockheads|game]], because steel is used to make all [[Electricity|electric machines]].

===Bench Upgrades===
Iron ingots can be used on a [[Tool Bench#Level 3|level 3 tool bench]] to upgrade it to [[Tool Bench#Level 4|level 4]]. The upgraded [[Tool Bench|tool bench]] can then make iron [[Tool|tools]], including [[axe]]s, [[machete]]s, [[pickaxe]]s, and [[sword]]s. Each tool also requires a [[stick]].
