About Iron Block

The Iron Block is a solid storage block made from iron. It is mainly used to store large amounts of iron in a compact form, since one block holds nine ingots. You can also use it as a building material or in crafting recipes.

Key facts:

Craft one back into nine iron ingots.
Use four iron blocks plus a pumpkin to build an iron golem.
Use three iron blocks and four iron ingots to craft an anvil.
Works well as a beacon pyramid block.

It has no special right-click interaction, but it is a strong, blast-resistant block for builds.

How to get Iron Block

You get Iron Blocks by crafting them. Place nine iron ingots in a 3x3 crafting grid to make one block. This is the main way to obtain them, so you will need a good supply of iron first. They do not appear in villager trades or common chest loot, so crafting is your only reliable route.
