If you’re new to Minecraft Pocket Edition, you may be struggling to find some of the supplies you need to keep building, and if you are not interested in cluelessly looking for iron inside the game, then you just have to check this alt shop Minecraft for all the help you need. One of the most important supplies is iron, and although it’s a lot more common than diamond, you could even consider it to be better than diamond because it has a lot more purpose and can be found much easier.

This guide will give you some tips on how to find iron as easily as possible in Minecraft PE! 

Unlike Minecraft PC, there aren’t any caves or ravines, so there’s no point trying to look underground for landmarks that might have a better chance at spawning iron. Instead, you’ll have to mine as much as you can, and hope you stumble across some iron.

Iron can spawn at any level underground, but I have had better luck at levels 22-25, so dig down around 25 blocks from ground level to stand a better chance at finding iron!

Once you’ve dug down, you’ll want to create a small chest room – this can be used for storing cobblestone, iron, and anything else you find there, and can also be used as a place to sleep and craft more pickaxes.

Now all you need to do is choose a spot on the wall of your chest room, and start digging in a straight line! You can dig as far as you want to. Remember to place torches on your way so the tunnels are nice and lit – this will mean you’re not missing out on any iron or coal because of the dim lighting.

Once you return to your chest room, you can start digging another path into the underground. A good way to make sure you don’t miss any potential iron is to dig tunnels as shown below. by having walls in between each tunnel, you’re saving digging time and can spot any iron that you might pass.

It can take some time to find iron, but remember that while you’re mining, you are also building up a big supply of cobblestone, and can also pick up any coal on the way.

As a final tip, make sure to look at the ground beneath you, and the ceiling above! Sometimes you might miss iron if you don’t look at these areas.
