Overview
Iron Ore is a stone-family block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. There is no way to craft it; you have to find it and mine it. Its hardness of 3 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.
Anything below a stone pickaxe breaks it without leaving a drop. Breaking it produces Raw Iron. It stacks to 64.
It goes into exactly one recipe: Iron Ingot.
