wattles – The Best Ways To Get Iron In Minecraft 1.20!

How’s it going everybody it’s me waddles a little while ago i posted a video just like this one right here except diamonds and you guys seem to like it so today we’re going to take that concept and flip it here are some of the best ways to find iron in minecraft 1.19

We’ll take a look at the different mining methods and rank them in this video too so you know which is best let’s go ahead and start with a little bit of generation talk though check out this chart right here uh oh that’s the wrong chart that one just

Tells you to like to subscribe this chart right here this is the ore generation chart for 1.19 as we can see iron it’s kind of all over the place here so on minecraft java edition iron generates in three batches one of these batches is going to be very high up in

Your world 128 to 320 that’s in the mountains another batch is going to generate from negative 24 to 54 so you’re thinking like caves and then another smaller batch will generate from negative 63 all the way up to 64. we can also find iron generating inside of

These massive giant veins and a bedrock edition well it’s different slightly but it’s similar enough that this video definitely still applies for you so good news i’ve gone through my archives and come up with five different methods each one of these methods is going to have their

Own pros and cons and one of these methods is insane the first method that we’re going to talk about today is the most straightforward method of all the time for this method i recommend having your basic mining supplies food and torches for sure and if you really want to level

Things up maybe you’re more late game consider night vision potion they’re kind of cool so keeping in mind that we can find iron generating just about anywhere in our world all we’re gonna need to do for this one is slide under the ground and start caving explore the caves and in

Like no time you should be able to find iron i mean look i probably don’t really need to tell you how to cave or whatever i mean just do whatever you like to do and watch out for the iron with iron having such a massive range you should

Be able to find this stuff generating almost anywhere one spot that you won’t be able to find this generating though well that’s going to be inside of those middle cave ranges so middle caves i’m talking any cave above 64 but below 128 so this mountain right here i’m

Thinking this mountain is a prime suspect for that we go ahead and drop down onto the mountain check out the coordinate 83 yeah with the generation ranges what they are it’s gonna be highly unlikely that we walk into any cave on this mountain and find any iron

In i mean small cave but yeah it worked checks out so early game when you’re scraping it by for iron i definitely recommend looking around on the ground for caves if you’re lucky you find a big cave like this one right here this is great so unlike some of the diamond generation

When iron generates it can and will generate exposed to air all you need to do really is find a big cave and maybe drink a night vision potion and walk around if you’re looking for iron this is one of the easiest ways to find things the night vision will of course

The light they came up like pretty much perfectly you can see everything after that i mean it’s pretty straightforward walk up to the iron ore look at the iron ore take the beauty in and and then mine mine the iron ore just just use the pickaxe on yep

You pick ax on iron ore don’t use wood though the angle that i’m going at at least for this one in this video is a little bit more like early game but there are enchantments that will change the amount of iron that you get if you’re looking for mass profit then

Consider fortune three you’re gonna fortune through the iron and get an absurd amount of raw iron to conserve space consider silk touch still touch all of the iron ore then maybe fortune 3 it back up on the surface later on but if you’re early game a plain old pickaxe will definitely do

If you’d like to see some kind of more in-depth mining guide then uh just just let me know down below i could definitely make them for our ranking on this one i mean it’s pretty simple we have nothing to compare it to so that’s the ranking

But are you sick of mining like you walk down into the caves in immediate asphyxiation you just can’t stand it well i’ve got another method for you it’s time to explore for this method i recommend bringing whatever you’d like to bring with you when you explore maybe

A boat or even better now it is a chess boat maybe a map a map is always a good idea so you don’t lose your way maybe even extra storage in the form of well chess boat or maybe even better ender chests so exploration did you know that iron ingots are one of

The most common things to find in loot tables across the board like look completely random outpost never seen it before i can go almost guarantee we check inside of this chest okay terrible example terrible yeah well actually maybe not a terrible example after all look i’m not even

Gonna list off the individual structures that you can find iron ingots generating in because the list is insane like i mean check this out pulling this from the minecraft wiki on java edition on bedrock edition if you’re looking for iron ingots and you don’t want to mine explore run

Around your world it’s fun let me be frank in no way am i saying this is the most efficient way to find iron it’s it’s no it’s definitely not not not efficient but if you’re looking for something maybe a little bit different allergic to the iron ore block

Or something like that like it’s definitely an option also keep in mind that multiple structures in the game generate with these things right there these things are interesting uh we’ll talk more about those later also keep in mind if you’re exploring in an area that is stony there is of course

A small chance that you’ll be able to find iron generating on the surface look don’t shoot me okay i’m just an ideas guy i’m presenting solutions to a problem you maybe have caving for iron definitely a little bit better than exploring but don’t sleep on exploring

This fun you’ll find more than just iron if by chance you end up exploring and find a warm biome that gets a little bit mountainy then you’re in huge luck for the next method bring a fortune 3. there are a lot more specific variables that

Need to fall in just the right spot for this one but if those variables do fall into that spot you’re in luck huge time so the stony peak spiral it’s a tall biome a really really tall biome the taller the better for this one so i

Would say to be honest that this stoney peak spine we’re looking at right now it’s mild it’s a mild sony peaks this stony peaks however might look a little familiar to you oh boy let me show you this tony peace bomb so we cruise into this biome and look all over the place

On this mountain this is natural generation and even better it’s not like the most rare thing in the world i mean yeah you’re gonna need a tall mountain in a warm spot in your world that has lots of tall sharp peaks covered in stone but if you have that not only are

You gonna find iron ore all over this thing but you’re gonna find coal and emerald too so this is the same mountain that i found in this video right here in that video we were talking about getting experience from the iron ore inside of this mountain not a not a bad idea keep

That in mind look if you have a mountain biome like this in your world then you need to go over to it and start mining the iron like right away like do it instant like yesterday like mind the iron there’s so much iron that generates up here inside of the mountains so back

To that jar for a second why is there so much iron up inside of the mountain well it’s because this is actually the spot in your entire world where the most iron generates if you’re looking for iron the best layer to find it is why 255 which

Goes back to what i was saying this is 144 nowhere near 255 and i’m already finding like a decent amount of iron up on the surface with almost no effort at all you get your fortune 3 pickaxe involved for this operation you fortune all of the raw iron oh it’s easy profits

And 100 safe too generally speaking the taller more stereotypical mountain like mountain your mountain gets that’s a lot of mountains the more iron you will find this mountain right here gets even taller almost touching the clouds now yeah we’re going to be able to find a lot of iron generating across the

Surface in this biome also as a small bonus if you can find an area with mountains like this there’s a decent chance that somewhere deep down below these mountains you will have an ancient city generating as well or at least the deep dark bomb find some of the best

Looking mountains in your entire world and walk around at the surface that’s all you need to do for the next method that we’re going to check out today patience you’re you’re going to need to start with a lot of patience because we’re looking for something very

Specific but trust me once we find the specific thing the patience will pay off so instead of going really high up in your world this time go low remember when they go high we go low always so down here in the deepest caves in my world maybe have a little bit of night

Vision and start running around mining and looking for iron ore we’re looking for a suspicious amount of iron ore next to the tough block for this one so over here we have tough we have iron but it’s not close enough not suspicious enough over here quite a bit of tough uh very

Interesting but no iron at all if we dig around so we keep moving because we’re looking for something that is so rare the thing that’s going to help us out a lot for this one is a big cave if we can find a big cave that exposes a lot of

Blocks that’s going to make things quicker here we are inside of one of the world’s most amazing definitely largest caves ever i mean this place has it all it has a mine shaft it has lush caves that have drips on caves over there but

It also has a lot of tough exposed if we go ahead and move around inside this cave for a little while we will begin to notice something very interesting going on check that out right there and then over here oh yeah dead giveaway look at all this iron and the top mix together

Uh we have a big mining project on our hands iron ore veins are a minecraft 1.18 feature that are absolutely massive so first things first if you’re looking for an iron ore vane anywhere inside of the deep slate range is going to be good it doesn’t necessarily have to be all the

Way down to the bottom of your world as long as you’re in deep slate you’re good second thing second you just gotta run around and look for weird-looking things like this right here when you have small blotches of iron next to tough that’s usually a dead giveaway now if you can

Find the start of your iron ore vein grab your fortune three pickaxe and start mining and and then that’s basically it just follow the tuff wherever the tuft goes there will be more iron sometimes if you’re lucky when you’re mining this out you’ll find a solid block of raw iron ore that’s going

To be nine pieces of raw iron also if you’re really lucky this block it could generate exposed so if you see this like just on the wall somewhere it’s a dead giveaway you just found one of the best sources of iron in the entire game

How big is the ore vein and how much iron ore is inside of the orbit well the iron orbane is so big the scientists cannot even answer that question the amount of iron that you will be able to extract from one of these ore veins uh well well it’s in the thousands typically

These veins are gonna be 100 connected too so check this out it’s over here it winds down that way it winds up along the ceiling this way disappears and then pops back out right there moving from the lower part of the cave to the higher part check this out it continues over

Here it’s all over the place reaching up towards the zone all the way over there too and over there yeah this vein it just keeps going and going it’s gonna wind like forever essentially if you find one of these things mark it and come back anytime you need iron it’ll be there

We’re making solid progress we’re actually almost done now this one in the video i will remind you to leave a like and we’ll take a quick break to solid up our rankings so we’ve got classic caving it’s great it will always work however if you can find an iron ore vein oh it’s

It’s absolutely amazing even better than classic caving if you can find a tall mountain maybe not as good as a giant iron orbane but definitely not bad exploring maybe just if you don’t want a cave or anything like that but there’s another option a far superior option to nod caving for iron

And that’s number one you see the statue of the iron golem that i built yeah it’s a dead giveaway it’s a hint all along the best way in minecraft 1.19 to get iron is a quick and simple farm an iron farm here in my redstone tutorial world let’s

See what’s going on i have tons of different farms different iron farms for different versions of the game the current iron farm though that i recommend it’s gonna be that beauty over there built out of mud i guess i should disclaim if this video is sponsored by by nobody it’s sponsored

By me this is my iron farm i built it so i’m heavily biased i like this iron farm a lot this iron farm is not only insanely simple to build but this buddy is going to get you free continuous iron for literally the rest of time as long

As you set this thing up right it’s three villagers a zombie a couple blocks and some water and lava to remove the golems that’s that’s all that’s it the farm works in the night the farm works in the day time too any time of the day

You set this thing up almost anywhere in your world the thing will just run and run and run then it’ll work if you’re looking for a tutorial on this farm look i got you check out this video um in just like one more minute or something this one’s almost over that tutorial is

The most up-to-date tutorial for my iron farm it’s got all of the 1.19 changes in mind and if you’d like to know a little bit more about what goes into designing an iron farm check out the first everything series episode on iron farming i do have a disclaimer with our ranking today

Though so iron farming in my opinion it’s by far the best way to get iron in 1.19 however some people don’t really like it it’s like seen as a little cheaty so if that’s the case iron or vein find one of those things you’re set forever getting iron in minecraft 1.19

What do you think what’s your go-to way to get minecraft’s most useful ore thank you all so much for watching this video especially if you made it at this point in the video you’re like literally my best friend now you’re the best in facebook grim war austin b andrew h and
