Template:Redirect Template:Infobox block Iron bars are the iron variant of Minecraft:bars.

Obtaining

Breaking

Iron bars can be mined using any Minecraft:pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Iron bars can generate in strongholds, woodland mansions, savanna villages, desert villages, plains villages, igloo basements, ruined portals, and trail ruins.

In Minecraft:the End, there are two End spikes that have iron bars around their End crystals.

Crafting

Template:Crafting Iron bars are not a source of iron. Once crafted, iron bars cannot be smelted into iron nuggets or ingots.

Post-generation

Iron bars regenerate on the end spikes whenever the ender dragon is respawned.

Usage

Template:For

Curing

Iron bars speed up the curing process of zombie villagers.

Trivia

Template:IN, a 2×2 area made of iron bars can make a square-shaped hole big enough for the player and most Minecraft:mobs to fit through, but not rain, Minecraft:water, etc. that can be used as an easy entrance for an underwater house, and even an exit if Minecraft:pistons are used. Glass panes work in the same way.
If a Minecraft:sign or a Minecraft:painting is placed on iron bars, it appears to float in the air.
Despite apparently being thin enough to do so, iron bars do not let a ghast's explosion touch the block beneath them as long as the block is protected from other angles of the explosion affecting it.
If an iron bar is connected to a block and a Minecraft:rail is placed on the block, the top texture of the iron bar disappears.
While curing a zombie villager, iron bars placed nearby speed up the healing process. The same happens with Minecraft:beds, and both these things occur in the stereotypical prison cell.
Minecraft:Arrows cannot be shot through iron bars in Bedrock Edition.
Because iron bars are 1 block high, the player can normally jump over iron bars, unlike fences.
