An iron ingot is a crafted item through the metallurgical process of smelting iron ore.

Appearance

Iron 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 apart 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. They can also obtained as bonuses for meditating or by the use of a gold pickaxe as well as traded for at a trade portal.

The smelting of an iron ingot can be done at any level 2 furnace or higher. They may also be crafted at an electric furnace.
