Since it is used in a plentiful of ways, stated above, It rather depletes fast in populated areas, although no area has more iron, it still can be found everywhere. It also is sometimes used as a currency to buy simple things, such as a loaf of bread, or apple, primarily it is used in the coin form, rather then the bar for trading.

Gold is a valuable mineral, being used to flaunt wealth rather than make tools or armor with it. Gold is one of the currencies commonly used currencies, used for bigger purchases, such as residential houses, pieces of armor, and trading goods. It is used in both forms, bars, and coins for trading.

Finding redstone is easy, as when you mine a rock with redstone inside it will light up. You can find redstone in deep caves, rather than caves near the surface.

Emerald
