Description

Iron Bars are crafted from six iron ingots, producing sixteen connected metal pieces. They behave like a thin barrier, joining to nearby solid blocks and other bars while leaving much more visual space than full blocks. Builders use them for prison cells, factory windows, castle arrow slits, sewer grates, balcony guards, and mechanical decoration.\n\nThe block is also useful because it blocks movement while preserving sight lines. Mobs and players cannot walk through the narrow gaps, but the shape feels lighter than fences or walls. In survival bases, bars are a practical way to secure villagers, display dangerous mobs, or add industrial detail without spending rare materials.
