How does the crafting table work?
Minecraft has two separate crafting areas: The 2x2 grid in your inventory and the 3x3 grid of the Crafting Table you place on the ground. Simple recipes like planks, sticks and torches work in the 2x2 grid; anything that needs three rows, like pickaxes, swords and hoppers, needs the table.
Some recipes are shaped: You have to arrange the ingredients in a set shape on the grid. Others are shapeless, so the result is the same wherever you put the ingredients. The grid above shows whichever type the recipe of the item you picked is.
There are recipes beyond the table too: The furnace smelts and cooks, the Blast Furnace processes ore twice as fast, the Smoker speeds up food, the Stonecutter turns a single block into dozens of building blocks, the Smithing Table does the netherite upgrade and the Brewing Stand brews potions (ingredient in the top slot, bottles below). The tool covers these stations' recipes as well and tells you under the result which one you need.
Common questions
How do you make a crafting table?
Place four planks in a 2x2 grid; the crafting area in your inventory is enough. You get planks by processing a log in your inventory, so you can have your table a minute after you start the game.
Which version are these recipes from?
Minecraft 26.3 (Java Edition). The recipes are not typed by hand; they come from the game's own data files, and the item names are the game's official English names. The list is regenerated when the version updates.
How do you make potions in Minecraft?
Put a water bottle in a Brewing Stand and add Nether Wart to get an Awkward Potion; add the ingredient for the effect you want and the potion is ready. Every potion's recipe, ingredient and from-scratch materials are on its own page.
Can an item have more than one recipe?
Yes. For example, you can get an ingot by smelting the ore, breaking down the block or combining nuggets. On the item's own page you see all its recipes side by side.
How many raw materials does an item take in total?
That is exactly what the "from scratch" section on item pages shows: It opens the recipe into its ingredients, then theirs, and gives you the total. So you know how many logs to chop before you head into the forest.
