Mining iron has been long forgotten by using OP iron farms. They’re too easy to make. (I’m talking specifically about iron golems, iron nugget farms from mob spawners are just fine) It shouldn't be free after a couple hours. Iron mining needs to be much more accessible so it's relevant to do. There’s so many recipes using iron that the iron ore spawning isn’t enough, & in 21w07a, the 1st mining strategy test, they made it even spawn less for the most part, except for in mountains, which aren't enough to make iron mining relevant again. Iron needs to also spawn in the Deep Dark everywhere, like how gold is much more common in Mesa biomes. It should spawn in the middle of the deep dark & be most common in the very middle, so it's still using strategy (diamonds are much more common at the very bottom); & iron needs to be common loot in underground treasure. It would be good to also slightly buff the iron spawning that's between y=64 and the deep dark, so it's also not so bad of a safe mining spot. Iron probably should be loot in archeology too, instead of diamond blocks.
