The iron ingot is one of the most important materials in Minecraft. Inexpensive but durable tools are crafted from iron ingots. There are several ways to get this material, but the easiest way is to remelt iron ore in a furnace for a reason.
Necessary
- - cobblestone;
- - coal;
- - stone pickaxe;
- - torches.
Instructions
Step 1
Iron ore, which can be smelted into ingots, is quite common in the game world. Levels 2 through 61 have the highest concentration of this ore. This means that you don't have to go deep underground to find it, this is very important in the early stages of the game. In addition, iron ore can be mined with a stone pickaxe.
Step 2
When going on an expedition for this material, take with you several stacks of torches (there are 64 pieces in a stack, this is the maximum possible number of items that can be placed in one slot of inventory, crafting or a chest), several stone pickaxes, a stone sword for protection and more food. There is always the possibility that in the process of exploring a cave you will be carried away somewhere by a stream of water, and your journey will drag on. Veins of iron ore are usually quite large, in each vein from five to (in some cases) up to fifteen blocks. Often iron and coal ore are located in the neighborhood, therefore, after digging a vein of the same type, try to remove the blocks closest to it, this greatly simplifies the extraction of resources.
Step 3
Returning home with the loot, first of all, make a stove, for this, in the workbench interface, place 8 pieces of cobblestone, leaving the central cell empty. Install the stove, open its interface, put iron ore in the upper slot, in the lower coal. If you brought a lot of iron ore and coal, make some stoves, so the process will go faster. After a few minutes, open the stove again and, holding shift, take away the iron ingots.
