Crafting

**Crafting** is how a player makes items and blocks in *Minecraft*. To craft something, a player moves items from their inventory to a crafting grid, arranging them according to a recipe. A 2×2 crafting grid can be accessed from the player's inventory and a 3×3 grid can be accessed by Template:Control a crafting table. Items crafted in the 2×2 grid can also be crafted in the crafting table.

## Crafting system

Players in CreativeTemplate:Only, Survival or Adventure always have access to the 2×2 crafting grid from their inventory screen. Small crafting recipes that are at most 2×2 can be made there. These include wooden planks, sticks, crafting tables, torches and some shapeless recipes. To craft items using a 3×3 grid, create a crafting table with 4 wooden planks, place it in the world, and press Template:Control while facing it. This brings up an interface with a 3×3 crafting grid, which the player can use to craft any crafting recipe in the game. There is also a recipe book where you can access all the crafting recipes.

Some recipes do not require their ingredients to be arranged in a specific way on the crafting grid. These are commonly known as *shapeless* recipes. For example, players can craft a fermented spider eye by placing its ingredients anywhere within the grid.

On the other hand, many recipes must have their ingredients placed in the correct relative positions on the crafting grid. These are commonly known as *shaped* recipes. Ingredients in shaped recipes can be ‘moved’ up, down, left, or right. They can also be flipped side-ways. For example, a 3×1 recipe, such as bread, can be made using the top, middle, or bottom row of the 3×3 grid, but it cannot be made using the 2×2 grid because it needs to be three items wide, and a bow may be made with the strings placed on the left instead of on the right.

There are recipes that may not be moved or mirrored in this way. These are commonly known as *fixed* recipes. For example, a chest needs to have eight planks placed precisely on every square except the middle. Fixed recipes can be added by data packs or mods.

Crafting, unlike other in-game actions such as smelting, brewing and enchanting, is completely silent.

### Recipe Book

Main article: Recipe book
The recipe book is a mechanic in *Minecraft* that serves as a catalog of recipes and as a crafting guide. It shows every crafting recipe that the player has had materials for.

Crafting recipes are organized in several different categories, as follows:

* The first tab contains every unlocked recipe.
* The second tab contains tools, weapons, and armor.
* The third tab contains building materials.
* The fourth tab contains food and miscellaneous items.
* The fifth tab contains redstone materials.

### Recipe system

Main article: Recipe
Recipes, including crafting recipes, can be configured by data packs Template:In or add-ons Template:In. There are currently 379 crafting recipies as of 1.16.

## Template:AnchorComplete recipe list

To save space, some recipes are animated (requires JavaScript). On this wiki, shapeless recipes are marked with a pair of intertwined arrows on the crafting table graphic. This symbol does not appear in the game. Also fixed crafting recipes are marked by an exclamation point. Again, this symbol does not appear in the game.
