In this guide, we’ll show you how to create iron boots. What you’ll need:
- A Crafting table.
- A Furnace.
- A Stone pickaxe.
- Four iron ingots.
Step 1 – Mine some iron
0:18 – Using a stone pickaxe, mine four pieces of iron ore. You can generally find mineral veins in caves or mines.

Step 2 – Smelt the iron ore
0:31 – Place the iron ore in your furnace to smelt it into iron ingots. You can use different fuel sources to power your furnace, we use logs since they’re easy to acquire.

Step 3 – Place the iron ingots
0:45 – Now, place iron ingots in the bottom-left, middle-left, middle-right, and bottom-right cells of the crafting grid.
(You can look at your numpad, if you have one, and the placement on the crafting grid would correspond to the “1”, “4”, “6”, and “3” keys, which we can refer to as cells 1, 4, 6, and 3.)

Step 4 (Optional) – Break ’em in
You now have a pair of iron boots! Nobody ever accused you of being light on your feet and now that’s doubly true.

At least these babies will definitely give your calves a workout.
