FAQ

What tool do I need to mine a Block of Raw Iron?

A stone pickaxe or better. Mining with wood or bare hands breaks the block with no drop.

Can I smelt a Block of Raw Iron into an iron block?

No. It must first be crafted back into nine Raw Iron items, which can then be smelted individually into iron ingots.

Can I find Blocks of Raw Iron naturally?

Yes, though rarely. Huge ore veins below Y=0 have a small chance of generating a Block of Raw Iron in place of an iron ore block.

Is it affected by Fortune or Silk Touch?

No. It always drops exactly one Block of Raw Iron regardless of enchantments.
