	“	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

A crafting table allows the player to craft blocks and items in Minecraft.

Usage

Crafting

Main article: Crafting

Pressing use on a crafting table will open the 3×3 crafting grid that allows the player to craft many more items than with the crafting grid in their inventory.

The recipe book is available to the left of the crafting grid (collapsed by default in Java Edition), which stores crafting recipes for reference and one-click crafting.

Fuel

Crafting tables can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Trivia

• 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.
