About Block of Raw Iron

The Block of Raw Iron is a compact storage block for raw iron. Instead of letting raw iron pieces fill your chest, you can pack nine of them into one block and unpack them later in a crafting grid.

Key facts:

  • Stores nine raw iron, and can be crafted back into nine raw iron.
  • Requires a stone pickaxe or better to mine.
  • Can be smelted in a furnace or blast furnace into a Block of Iron, which is more fuel efficient than smelting each raw iron piece separately.

How to get Block of Raw Iron

You get this block by crafting it from nine raw iron in a 3x3 pattern. Raw iron drops when you mine iron ore with a stone pickaxe or better, so a mining trip usually gives you enough to craft it. It does not generate naturally in the world or appear in loot chests, so crafting is the only way to obtain it.
