However, when generating seeds, the game splits the world into chunks: segments that are 16 blocks high and 16 blocks wide. Ore generation in depends on chunks, and Iron Ore is much more common in certain chunks and levels.

As such, the best approach is to focus on those underground layers, similar to the approach you'd take when mining the best level for Diamonds.
You will find a lot of Iron Ore in the-24 to -56 range, where the game tends to generate bigger blobs of Iron Ore. These are the best levels for finding Iron consistently and in large quantities in It's worth noting that the game generates a lot of Iron Ore per chunk, so you shouldn't have trouble finding it.

What stands out is that, in a conversation that spanned all genres, RPG dominated the top of the list almost entirely – but each of them is wildly different from the others.
