Iron Ore is a resource that can be gathered with any pickaxe from iron ore veins, which are found within Sandstone.

It appears to be most abundant in the Desert biome, about 25 blocks below the surface. It can also be found beneath Grasslands.

Iron Ore is refined into Iron Ingots at a Bloomery or a Blast Furnace.

Appearance[edit | edit source]

Iron Ore vein found within Sandstone.

Iron Ore is found underground (or occasionally exposed above ground) within Sandstone. It appears as a block that can be distinguished by darker and more pronounced streaks than the surrounding Sandstone.
