Overview
Minecraft classifies Iron Bars as a building block. You craft Iron Bars rather than find it ready-made. A hardness of 5 makes it slow going without the right tool.
Anything below a wooden pickaxe breaks it without leaving a drop. It drops as the same block you mined. Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it.
Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. The recipe calls for Iron Ingot. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
