'''Iron ore''' is a [[ore|mineral]] block found underground. It is smelted into [[iron ingot]]s, which are used to make [[tool]]s and [[armor]].<br />
<br />
'''Deepslate iron ore''' is a variant found in the [[deepslate]] layer of the world, below y=0.{{upcoming|Java 1.18|Bedrock 1.18}}<br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
<br />
=== Breaking ===<br />
Iron ore must be mined with a stone pickaxe or higher, or else it drops nothing. Unlike most ores, iron ore always drops itself, regardless of whether the player used [[Silk Touch]].<br />
<br />
{{INUpcoming|Java 1.17}}, iron ore will drop 1 [[Raw Iron]]. It is affected by [[Fortune]] enchantment, dropping 1-2, 1-3 or 1-4 raw iron respectively with Fortune I, II and III. When mined with [[Silk Touch]], it will drop itself.<br />

|Stone; Stone<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Natural generation ===<br />
Iron ore can generate in [[the Overworld]] in the form of [[blob]]s. Iron ore attempts to generate 20 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-13, from levels 0 to 63, in all biomes. On average they generate 112 ores per chunk.<br />
<br />
{{INUpcoming|Java 1.18}}, iron ore generates in three batches. The first batch attempts to generate 40 times per chunk in blobs of 0-13, from levels 128 to 320, being most common around level 255 and becoming less common towards either end of the range. The second batch attempts to generate 6 times per chunk in blobs of 0-13, from levels -24 to 54, being most common around level 15 and becoming less common towards either end of the range. The third batch attempts to generate 3 times per chunk in blobs of 0-5, evenly from levels -63 to -32. Iron ore can replace [[stone]], [[granite]], [[diorite]], [[andesite]], [[tuff]], and [[deepslate]]. If it replaces tuff or deepslate, it will become deepslate iron ore.<br />
<br />
{{INUpcoming|Java 1.18}}, iron ore can generate as an [[ore vein]].<br />
<br />
{{INUpcoming|Bedrock 1.18}}, iron ore also attempts to generate 40 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-10, from levels 128 to 256 within any type of [[mountains]] biome. It becomes more common as the y-level increases.<br />
<br />
{{INUpcoming|Bedrock 1.17}}, deepslate iron ore generates instead of regular iron ore in [[deepslate]] blobs.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
The primary usage of iron ore is to obtain [[iron ingot]]s.<br />
=== Smelting ingredient ===<br />

Iron ore can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sound.<br />
