Iron Ore is most abundant within Sandstone in the Desert [[biome]]. Based on the default world generator files, Iron Ore has a 25% chance of spawning 10-15 blocks below the surface. It has a 5% chance of spawning 0-9 blocks below the surface and a 10% chance of spawning 16-30 blocks below the surface. Sandstone is the only type of stone found in the Desert at these depth ranges so the spawn percentages are reliable.
* 15% chance, 0-1 blocks below the surface - with 21-23 blocks
* 2% chance, 0-1 blocks below the surface - with 8-15 blocks
* 7.5% chance, 8-11 blocks below the surface
* 0.25% chance, 8-20 blocks below the surface - with either 15-50 blocks or 40-250 blocks
* 0.25% chance, 0-20 blocks below the surface - with either 35-140 or 15-150

[[Grasslands]] also have a chance of spawning Iron Ore. According to game files, Iron Ore has a 10% chance of spawning in the Sandstone 0-70 blocks below the surface. There is an equal chance of finding Iron Ore at all depths in the Grasslands, but because it is only found in the Sandstone the actual spawn percentage may vary.


* 1% chance, 53-60 blocks below the surface - with 15-75 blocks
