How to get Isn't It Iron Pick?
- Mine iron ore with a stone pickaxe or better. It is common underground and in caves, especially in mountains.
- Smelt the raw iron in a furnace or blast furnace to get iron ingots.
- Craft an iron pickaxe at a crafting table: 3 iron ingots across the top row and 2 sticks down the middle.
- The advancement unlocks the moment the iron pickaxe is in your inventory.
Tips
Enchant your stone pickaxe with Fortune before mining iron: Fortune increases the raw iron dropped per ore, so one vein goes much further.
