Visual Crafting ToolThe exact grid layout and ingredients for every recipe in the game, searchable and visual.Open the Crafting Tool →How crafting works
You combine items in a grid to make new ones. Your inventory has a 2x2 grid for simple recipes; a crafting table opens the full 3x3 grid needed for most items. Place the ingredients in the right pattern and the result appears in the output slot.
Shaped vs shapeless recipes
Shaped recipes need the ingredients in a specific pattern (a pickaxe is three of a material across the top with two sticks down the middle). Shapeless recipes only care that the right items are present anywhere in the grid (like dyeing or combining). The crafting tool shows the exact pattern for each.
Crafting stations
- Crafting table: the 3x3 grid for most items.
- Furnace / blast furnace / smoker: smelting ore, food and more.
- Smithing table: netherite upgrades and armor trims.
- Stonecutter: cutting stone variants without waste.
- Anvil, grindstone, loom, brewing stand: specialised crafting.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I make a crafting table?
- Place four wooden planks in a 2x2 square in your inventory crafting grid. The crafting table then gives you the 3x3 grid for everything else.
- What is the difference between shaped and shapeless crafting?
- Shaped recipes require a specific layout in the grid; shapeless recipes just need the correct ingredients present in any slots. Most tools and structural items are shaped.
- Why is my crafting recipe not working?
- Usually the pattern is off by a slot, you are using the wrong variant (e.g. a specific plank type), or the recipe needs a crafting table's 3x3 grid rather than the 2x2 inventory grid.
