Block of Raw Iron – Crafting Guide
Block of Raw Iron is a compact way to store raw iron in your inventory. Instead of carrying nine individual raw iron items, you can combine them into a single block. This saves space and makes it easier to transport large amounts of raw iron. You can break the block down later if you need the individual items.
What is Block of Raw Iron?
Block of Raw Iron was added in the Caves and Cliffs Update: Part I (version 1.17). It’s a storage block that holds nine raw iron items in one slot. If you’re mining a lot of iron ore, these blocks are super useful for managing your inventory space.
