What is the best y level for iron in 1.20 bedrock?

There isn't a single "best" Y level for finding iron in Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.20 (or any version, for that matter). Iron ore generation is affected by several factors and is not uniformly distributed. However, some Y levels are statistically more likely to yield better results than others.

Here's what you should know:

• Y=11-15: This range used to be considered the best in older versions, however this isn't necessarily the case anymore. While you will still find iron here, it's not guaranteed to be significantly better than slightly higher or lower areas.

• Strip Mining: The most efficient method for finding iron in Bedrock Edition remains strip mining. This involves digging long horizontal tunnels at a chosen Y level, rather than focusing on single vertical shafts. The specific Y level isn't as crucial as the consistent horizontal exploration.

• Cave Exploration: Don't underestimate the potential for finding iron ore within caves. Caves often intersect different Y levels and have higher ore densities than the average surface. Exploring caves can be very rewarding.

• Ore Veins: Iron ore generates in veins. Finding one vein can lead to a substantial amount of ore. This is why strip mining (covering a wide area) is so effective.

• No Guarantees: Ore generation is procedurally generated, meaning it's random. Even the "best" Y levels won't guarantee a rich haul every time.

In summary: While Y=11-15 still offers a decent chance of finding iron, the best strategy is strip mining at a chosen Y level within that general range (or slightly higher/lower), combined with exploring caves. Experiment to see what works best in your particular world. Don't expect consistent, highly concentrated veins – efficient mining is key.
