Blocks of iron can be used to "power" a [[Minecraft:beacon]]. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square of iron blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely blocks of iron, as they may also contain [[Minecraft:blocks of gold]], [[Minecraft:blocks of diamond]], [[Minecraft:blocks of netherite]] or [[Minecraft:blocks of emerald]].

Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox block A block of iron, known internally as an iron block, is a precious Minecraft:metal block equivalent to nine iron ingots.

Obtaining

Breaking

Blocks of iron can be mined only with a stone pickaxe or better. If a block of iron is mined without the use of a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Script error: No such module "breaking row".

Generated loot

Script error: No such module "lootChest".

Crafting

Template:Crafting

Usage

Blocks of iron can be used to store iron ingots in a compact fashion.

Beacons

Blocks of iron can be used to "power" a Minecraft:beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square of iron blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely blocks of iron, as they may also contain blocks of gold, blocks of diamond, blocks of netherite or blocks of emerald.

Spawning iron golems

Template:FakeImage Blocks of iron and carved pumpkins or jack o'lanterns are used to build iron golems. The carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern must be placed last, and the golem spawns immediately after placing it.

Crafting ingredient

Template:Crafting usage

Note blocks

Blocks of iron can be placed under note blocks to produce iron xylophone sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:Message box Template:Article other Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb blocks of iron, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the medicine ball/slow flat effect to the mob when hitting it.

Sounds
