Iron Ore

Iron Ore''' is a mineral block that can be smelted into Iron Ingots using a Furnace. Iron Ore is fairly common, and can be found easily in caves, often alongside Coal Ore. Iron can be used to craft the strongest & durable tools & armour after Diamond, which is much more difficult to obtain.'''

Spawning
In Old World types, Iron Ore was difficult to find, as caves were not implemented. In Infinite Worlds though, Iron can be found commonly due to the addition of Caves. Iron can be found in Levels 1-64.
