Iron Ingots are a primary crafting material in Hytale, required for a lot of core items, benches, and building materials that come up frequently during the early game. Knowing where to find Iron Ore, how to mine it, and how to smelt it into Iron Ingots is part of the gameplay loop.

This guide covers the general locations of where players can expect to find Iron Ore, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to convert it into Ingots at your base. Here’s how it works.

Where to Find Iron Ore in Hytale

Iron Ore Location

Iron Ore deposits start appearing with great frequency at a depth of 40-60 blocks in Hytale. Iron Ore deposits appear as white and gray coloration that contains streaks of rust-tinted streaks. Iron Ore can be mined using a Crude Pickaxe, but a Copper Pickaxe is recommended for faster mining and reduced durability loss.

While it is certainly possible to find Iron closer to the surface, such deposits are rare and far apart. To collect Iron Ore in large quantities, venturing deep underground is the way to go.

Players can either dig straight down in search of a deposit or venture into a natural cave. Entering a natural cave is typically the fastest way to obtain Iron (and other Ores) in Hytale since exploring these caves is usually faster than manual digging.

How to Craft Iron Ingots in Hytale

Iron Ingots can be crafted by smelting Iron Ores at a Furnace in Hytale. To make any Ingots, you first need to create a Furnace, which is a type of structure made specifically to turn Ores into Ingots.

How to Make a Furnace in Hytale

A Furnace can be made at a Tier 1 Workbench under the Crafting tab. A Workbench can be crafted using 4x Tree Trunk (Any) and 3x Stone (Any) through the Inventory tab.

Once it has been crafted, place the Furnace in your hotbar, equip it through the hotkey, and use right-click to place it down in the overworld.

Iron Ingot Recipe
Fuel + Iron Ore = Iron Ingot

To make Iron Ingots, place a fuel item like Charcoal, Wood, or Plant Fiber in the Fuel Slot and place the Iron Ore in the Input slot. Then, click on “Turn On” to start the process, and Iron Ingots should start appearing in the Output column.

Iron Ingots have a 1:1 output ratio, meaning you get 1 Iron Ingot for every 1 Iron Ore you put in.
