	“	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 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.

Fuel

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