Minecraft/Crafting

Crafting allows you to make items that would otherwise be hard or impossible to obtain.

Crafting grids
There are two of them in the game: a small, 2 by 2 one in your inventory; and a large 3 by 3 one from crafting tables.

Crafting items
To craft something, place items and blocks into your crafting grid in a specific way. If you are stuck, there is a handy crafting list of items that you can make. You can turn it on by pressing the green book in your inventory.

If you do it right, a new item will appear in the single slot next to it. If you pick it up, one of every item in the crafting grid will be consumed.
