Ores are considered to be one of the most efficient resources in the game. They are acquired from mining, one of the most common ways of harvesting items in Minecraft. Ore drops can be significantly multiplied by using the “Fortune” enchantment on one’s pickaxe.
Ores, like most things in Minecraft, can be crafted into blocks. However, most ores find their peak efficiency while being used to make tools, weapons, armor, and other useful components like buckets and anvils.
Most ores in Minecraft are a part of a tier system, which signifies both how powerful they are, as well as their defensive capabilities.
