Usage[edit]
Crafting[edit]
Pressing use on a crafting table will open the 3×3 crafting grid that allows the player to craft many more items than are available with the crafting grid in the inventory.
The recipe book is available to the left of the crafting grid (collapsed by default in Java Edition, expanded by default in Bedrock Edition), which stores crafting recipes for reference and one-click crafting.
