  • This is a shaped recipe, meaning the items must be placed in this specific arrangement on the grid.
  • Crafting Table can be crafted directly in your inventory or in a crafting table.

About the Crafting Table

The crafting table is the main crafting station in Minecraft. Open one to get a 3x3 crafting grid, much larger than the 2x2 grid in your inventory. Most tools, weapons, armour, and complex blocks need that full grid, so you will use one constantly.

A few useful details:

  • It can be broken with any tool, but axes are fastest.
  • It can be used as furnace fuel, though it is not very efficient.
  • Any wooden plank type works, and the result is always the standard table.

How to get the Crafting Table

You can craft a crafting table from four wooden planks. Place them in a 2x2 square, either in your inventory grid or inside another crafting table. You can also find crafting tables already placed in many village houses and in witch huts, so early exploration often gives you one before you craft it.
