Chains appear naturally in the remains of strongholds and on the sides of ruined portals in the Nether. They can also appear in a mineshaft near the bridge, which will stop them. They can also be found in chests in Bastion Remnants.
How to make a chain in Minecraft?
Chains in Minecraft can be quite expensive due to the materials needed to make them. They require the following:
- Iron Nugget x2
- Iron Ingot x1
Iron ingots can be crafted in furnaces or furnaces after placing iron ore in them. Iron nuggets can be crafted by processing iron ingots at the crafting table.


By combining items from the crafting table, players will get 1 chain in Minecraft.
