What is a Crafting Table?
The Crafting Table is one of the most important blocks in Minecraft. It expands the basic 2×2 crafting grid into a 3×3 grid, allowing players to craft complex tools, weapons, armor, blocks, and more. It's usually the very first item crafted in any survival game, making it essential to gameplay progression.
How to Craft
Crafting a Crafting Table is simple. Just place four wooden planks in a 2x2 square in your inventory's basic crafting interface. This yields one Crafting Table. Once crafted, place it down and interact with it to access a full 3x3 crafting grid.
Uses and Features
The Crafting Table is required to craft nearly every advanced item in Minecraft—from stone pickaxes to enchanting tables. Without it, you are limited to very basic tools. It is also often combined with furnaces, chests, and beds to form the core of any base.
