Iron Bar Information

An Iron Bar is created by smelting 5 Iron Ore in a furnace with 1 coal for fuel, or by Crafting the "Transmute (Fe)" recipe (3 Copper Bars into one Iron Bar which is unlocked at mining level 4).

Iron Bars may occasionally be found in Garbage Cans after receiving the Furnace blueprints from Clint. An Iron Bar may also drop from a Shadow Brute (2% chance) or Shadow Shaman (2% chance) when slain.

Smelting iron ore in a furnace takes 2 in-game hours. The "Transmute (Fe)" recipe is earned at Mining Level 4.

Iron bars are used in a variety of crafting recipes and are used to upgrade tools to tier 3. Each iron bar can be sold for 120g, or 180g with the Blacksmith Profession.

Iron Bar Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [335]. You will then receive the Iron Bar item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [335] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Iron Bar item.
