	Iron ore generates in three batches. The first batch attempts to generate 90 times per chunk in blobs of 0–13{{only\|je\|short=1}} or 0–16{{only\|be\|short=1}}, from levels 80 to 384, being most common around level 232 and becoming less common toward either end of the range. The second batch attempts to generate 10 times per chunk in blobs of 0–13{{only\|je\|short=1}} or 0–16{{only\|be\|short=1}}, from levels −24 to 56, being most common around level 16 and becoming less common toward either end of the range. The third batch attempts to generate 10 times per chunk in blobs of 0–5, evenly from levels −64 to 72.		Iron ore generates in three batches.

	Iron ore can replace [[Minecraft:stone]], [[Minecraft:andesite]], [[Minecraft:diorite]], [[Minecraft:granite]], [[Minecraft:tuff]], and [[Minecraft:deepslate]]. Iron ore that replaces tuff or deepslate becomes deepslate iron ore.		Iron ore can replace [[Minecraft:stone]], [[Minecraft:andesite]], [[Minecraft:diorite]], [[Minecraft:granite]], [[Minecraft:tuff]], and [[Minecraft:deepslate]]. Iron ore that replaces tuff below Y=0 or deepslate becomes deepslate iron ore.

	Iron ore can generate as a large [[Minecraft:ore vein]] found in the deepslate layer, consisting of iron ore, [[Minecraft:blocks of raw iron]], and [[Minecraft:tuff]].		Iron ore can generate as a large [[Minecraft:ore vein]] found in the deepslate layer, consisting of iron ore, [[Minecraft:blocks of raw iron]], and [[Minecraft:tuff]].

	~~=== Sulfur cube ===~~
	~~{{In development\|drop=Chaos Cubed\|section=1}}~~
	[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb iron ore and deepslate iron ore, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the medicine ball/slow flat effect to the mob when hitting it.
