“ | One recipe that pretty much everyone memorises from the first time they play Minecraft is how to make a crafting table. It's four planks arranged in a square, of course. You'll also find crafting tables occasionally in the wild - in village libraries, witch huts and igloos. Who knows what those witches are crafting? | „ |
| —Duncan Geere[1] |
The crafting table (previously known as the workbench) is one of the most essential blocks in Minecraft.

Trivia[edit]
- The new icon for Minecraft (not the launcher) is a crafting table.
- The original inventory screen before January 29, 2010 was the crafting table interface, meaning there was no way of putting on armor yet, and the player could not be seen.
