Undoubtedly, Minecraft is one of the best survival games of recent times. Even after a decade, players have been still grinding through the game to explore different biomes and features the game offers. The Minecraft world gets updated at regular intervals and gets new features. So, it never gets boring to players. However, if you are trying to craft something, one essential thing you require is Iron Ingots, and this guide will help you know where to get Iron Ingot in Minecraft.
Minecraft Iron Ingot Crafting Recipes- How to Craft?
Minecraft was initially released in 2011, and since then, the game has never lost its fanbase. During these years, the popularity of Minecraft only increased. However, if you have been playing this game, you have probably figured out that crafting plays a significant role in the game, and players need to craft or build everything necessary for survival.
Iron Ingot is one of the most vital things players need to have in Minecraft because it is a raw material that players need to craft every iron-based thing. From Blast Furnace to Iron Chest Plate, Iron Axe, Hoppers, Iron Door, Iron Sword, etc., numerous recipes require Iron Ingot. So, if you are new to Minecraft, naturally, you require Iron Ingot from the beginning of the game.
There are two ways to get Iron Ingot in Minecraft-
- Find an Iron Golem. Iron Golem randomly roam around the world, especially in the villages, and if you hit them, they will chase you, and their two or three hits can kill you.
So, before you hit an Iron Golem, put three blocks one after another and stand on the top. Now hit the Iron Golem with your Axe, Pickaxe, or any weapon you have. It will require a few hits to kill Iron Golem, and it will drop Iron Ingot.
- Alternatively, if you don’t like this idea of fighting an Iron Golem, find a cave (the bigger, the better), or dig down at any location until you reach the cobblestone layer. Dig further, and you’ll create your own cave. Now, start digging forward horizontally or vertically to find Iron Ores.
Once you get some iron ores, come back to your home and use your Furnace for smelting the Iron Ores. Right Click on the Furnace and put Iron Ore in the top left slot and Coal in the bottom slot(you can find Coal in the same cave). Wait for some time, and your Iron Ingots are ready.
That’s all you need to know about how to make Iron Ingots in Minecraft. Every Iron item requires Iron Ingots, so make as many Iron Ingots as possible.
