Block of Iron block in Minecraft
Present since 1.0 or earlier Mined with: pickaxe Requires at least stone Stack size: 64 In 2 tutorials ↓
The Block of Iron holds nine Iron Ingot and also builds iron golems with a carved pumpkin and anvils. A storage block packs nine of a material into one block and turns back into nine at any time.
It is made with the Crafting Table from 9 × Iron Ingot. It is mined with a pickaxe (at least tier stone).
What it does
Craft nine items in a square to get the block, and the block alone back into nine items: nothing is lost, and a chest holds nine times more. Storage blocks need a pickaxe to drop, and the precious ones need at least iron.
Iron, gold, diamond, emerald and netherite blocks also form the base pyramid of a Beacon, one to four levels high.
