Iron Bars

What are Iron Bars?

Iron Bars are a metallic fence-like block in Minecraft that provides a barrier while allowing visibility. They are commonly used in strongholds, prisons, and decorative builds due to their sleek yet protective design. Unlike solid blocks, Iron Bars allow partial movement of light, water, and projectiles.
