Ore is a blackish grayish mineral. It is not perfectly round or square, but it is rigedy.
when you see an ore that kinda looks like "brown" but the rest is gray, than you found iron ore. cook it and the ingot version looks like a silver. The ore is hard to describe, so go on minecraft wiki to check.
Uranium has more than 200 minerals ! Each mineral has another appearance.
From the green growth (moss, etc.) on the canyon walls that makes it look like copper ore.
Iron ore looks like a stone block with tan dots in it. You can't get it unless you mine it with a stone pickaxe or higher but it won't work if you try to mine it with a wooden pickaxe. Then you melt the iron ore in a furnace to get iron ingot which you can craft with.
Silver ore is cold, heavy and shiny. Silver ore feels like a rock. What a stupid question -.-
Look for a mine on the map.
Raw iron ore in its natural state typically appears as a reddish-brown rock with a metallic luster. It may also have a rough, uneven texture and can vary in size and shape.
Metals like iron, aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, and gold are typically extracted from metal ores. Ore processing involves separating the desired metal from the ore through processes like smelting and refining.
Geologists prospect ores by looking at their shape, size, color and how hard it is. They also need to find what is inside the ore or else they will not know what kind of ore it is.
You might mean ore, and an ore is just any unrefined mineral that usually contains metal. So gold can be a part of ore, but ore does not necessarily have to contain gold.
