There are three types of iron-containing ores in the game: hematite, magnetite and limonite. They can appear in different [[Rock#Rock strata|rock layers]] at different depths, but all are equally capable of producing iron. 20 nuggets of these ores produces one iron bloom. A tier 3 bronze (or better) pickaxe is needed to mine these ores.

'''Hematite''' can be found in large, deep underground deposits in limestone, granite, peridotite, and phyllite. '''Magnetite''' can be found in andesite, chalk, conglomerate, claystone, and slate. '''Limonite''' can be found in chert, shale, and basalt. Taken as a whole, this means iron ores can generate in any rock layer ''except'' for sandstone and bauxite.

In order to turn iron ore nuggets into iron blooms, the ore nuggets must be smelted in a bloomery, created from fire clay bricks. The bloomery must be loaded with the ore, then with an appropriate [[fuel]] - either charcoal, black coal or anthracite coal. The bloomery will burn for around 10 hours, after which it may be broken open to retrieve the iron blooms. Bloomeries are destroyed after a single use, so a new one must be made each time the player wants to turn iron ore nuggets into iron blooms.

Iron blooms must be further worked on an anvil while hot to turn it into usable wrought iron ingots. This may be done manually, with a hammer and a bronze or better anvil, or be automated with a [[helve hammer]]. Cold iron blooms can be reheated in a [[forge]].

Manual processing is done by placing a hot iron bloom on the anvil. Using a hammer, remove all the dark slag spots and manipulate the hot iron into the shape of an ingot. With a helve hammer setup, the bloom just needs to be placed on the anvil under the hammer, and it will slowly be turned into wrought iron. Each hit of the helve hammer removes a single voxel, so processing speed is dependent on the specific setup of the machine.

Acquiring iron tools and the means to produce iron is referred to as entering the "Iron Age". Iron has several advantages over bronze in item durability and efficiency, but also the availability of iron ore as compared to the metals needed to create bronze. On the other hand, iron is harder to work with as it cannot be cast, only smithed. Additionally, iron ingots require a more complicated process to make, and requires players to find a good source of fire clay as well as produce large quantities of high-temperature fuel.
