Iron chains are metallic decoration blocks and the iron variant of the chain.
Iron chains can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, they drop nothing.
Iron chains can generate in treasure room bastion remnants and sometimes in ruined portals that generate in the Nether. They always generate above magma cube spawners, also found in treasure room bastions.
Iron chains can also generate in mineshafts. They generate on the sides of a wooden bridge (a mid-air corridor) when the distance between the bridge and the highest solid block below it is higher than the distance to the lowest solid block above it. Iron chains here generate vertically in a pillar between the bridge and the ceiling. The lowest block of the pillar, connecting the chain to the bridge, is always an oak fence.
In addition, iron chains can also generate in trial chambers making up various hanging platforms in certain rooms.

Iron chains share several common block placement functionalities with copper chains.
In Bedrock Edition, iron chains are not conductive, but the comparator can work in being separated from the measured block by a chain.
