Iron is one of the most common but useful vanilla resources, used in a variety of applications from machines, tools, to alloys to make stronger versions of the previous.

Production

Mineral Deposits

Iron ore generates commonly in Y levels below 96. Iron ore clusters are a more rare version of the ore, which drop iron crystals when mined.

Hematite stratum have a vast amount of hematite, which can be melted into iron ingots.

Iron ore can be melted in a crucible into 2 ingots of molten iron, with a secondary product of 3 nuggets of molten titanium, and a stone byproduct.

Melting titanium ore yields a secondary product of 3 nuggets of molten iron.

Hematite can be combined with flux to produce molten iron.
