A block of iron is worth nine iron ingots and turns back into them. It is the usual way to store iron from mines and farms without using as much space. It needs a stone pickaxe or better to drop; broken any other way, it gives nothing.
Its best-known use is building an iron golem. You place four blocks in a T shape and finish with a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern on top; the pumpkin must go last, and the golem appears the moment you place it. It is a quick way to protect a village or your base from zombies.
It is also the most affordable beacon base block, since iron is far more common than gold or diamond. A 3×3 layer is enough to light the beacon, and 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layers add more effects. You can mix it with blocks of gold, diamond, netherite and emerald.
As decoration it has a clean metallic look that suits industrial or modern builds, though it is a pricey material to cover large surfaces with.
