    Firstly you need wood for a pickaxe. Next you'll need to mine down at an angle until you get to stone, Use this stone to create a furnace (8 Cobblestone. Found in the crafting table menu). Now you want to mine into your mine until you find a version of stone with pink pixel on it. This is Iron which can only be mined with a stone pickaxe

    Now to smelt the Iron you need either Coal, Charcoal or logs. If you found coal while looking for Iron put it on the bottom section of the furnace, if not then Charcoal can be made by smelting wooden logs with wooden logs or to completely bypass that section just smelt the iron with the logs.

    Take the ingot out of the furnace and you should unlock the achievementclap

    What you'll need
    * Wood (To be used to create a Crafting table and sticks for tools)
    * Stone (To create the furnace and stone pickaxe)
    * Crafting Table
    * Funerce
    * Wooden and Stone Pickaxe
    * Sticks
    * Iron Ore
    * Coal/Charcoal/Logs

    A patch has been released that reportedly fixes the bugged achievements, making this achievement obtainable again.

    SpirantCrayon22In case it helps, smelting the ingot did not give the achievement, it only appeared when I took it out of the furnace. I the trouble as noted isn't as simple as that but, well, just in case . . .

    For this achievement, you will need some coal and at least 1 iron ore.

    These both can be found anywhere underground. Coal looks like a stone block with blacks spots in it, iron ore looks like a stone block with brown spots in it.

    Dig around until you find some of each, then return to your furnace. Place the iron in the top square and the coal in the top square and then wait for it to do the work.

    Note: you may want to take multiple stone pickaxes with you as they break fairly easily. It is also worth taking some sticks, that way you can create some torches as soon as you find some coal.
