In the Caves & Cliffs update forMinecraft,we were introduced to new items that are dropped when mining ore blocks of Gold, Copper, and Iron. This new item is calledRaw Ore,and it works in the same way that mining Diamonds works; instead of dropping ore blocks as an item, mining ore blocks cause it to drop their respective resources. This new item also brought new block types called Block of Raw Gold, Block of Raw Iron, and Block of Raw Copper. In the guide below, we explain how to get them.
Raw Ore blocks of any type are only obtainable via crafting, commands, or Creative. Let’s first go over how to craft them.
Crafting
The following images and descriptions show you the crafting recipes for each Raw Ore block.
Each Block of Raw Ore can be crafted by takingnineRaw Ore of their respective resources, and placing them in each slot. This must be done at aCrafting Table.This is the only way to get one of these blocks in Survival Mode.
Commands
Blocks of Raw Ore can also be given via commands on a Command Block or in the chat by players with administrative privileges in a game. Here are the commands to give players one of these blocks.
