It’s no secret that Minecraft has evolved a lot over the years. If you are logging back in for the first time since 1.18 started, then you are likely having a bit of trouble finding certain types of ore. Iron ore is extremely important during the first few hours of the game, but it’s much harder to find by just digging a random mine shaft.
Typically, iron ore spawns the most withinmountainsbut can also be found between coordinatesY=-24andY=56elsewhere. If you do find a tall mountain, this can change a bit, with iron spawning up toY=232with aroundY=80as your prime starting point. Thehigheryou go up from Y=80, the more iron ore you should find.
