Block of Tempered Iron is the compact storage form of the metal in the Ala Industrial mod for Minecraft 26.2 (Java Edition): nine Tempered Iron ingots pressed into one full cube. The recipe follows the vanilla convention — fill the entire 3×3 workbench grid with Tempered Iron ingots to press one block, then place the finished Block of Tempered Iron back on the grid (shapeless recipe) to recover all nine ingots. The cycle is strictly lossless, exactly like the vanilla Block of Iron or Block of Gold, and one stack of 64 blocks safely warehouses 576 ingots. Block of Tempered Iron breaks with any pickaxe — no tier requirement — drops itself when mined, and matches the vanilla iron block values of hardness 5.0 and blast resistance 6.0.

Tempered Iron itself comes from smelting or blasting a regular iron ingot, so the whole Block of Tempered Iron chain stays renewable through iron golem farms. Block of Tempered Iron produces no energy and feeds no machines — Ala Industrial added the cube purely as a chest space-saver and as a decorative metal block with the familiar bright-iron texture. Practical routine: smelt iron into Tempered Iron ingots, press every nine into a Block of Tempered Iron before long storage sessions, and uncraft cubes on demand at any workbench. Future roles such as beacon-base compatibility or an MV-tier casing are on the Ala Industrial roadmap but not in the game yet.
