Crafting is the core mechanic of Minecraft. With just a crafting table, you can make tools, weapons, armor, and redstone contraptions.

🔹 Crafting Tools

• Wooden Tools – Start with wood planks + sticks.

• Stone Tools – Use cobblestone instead of wood.

• Iron Tools – Smelt iron ore to get iron ingots.

• Diamond Tools – Mine diamonds deep underground (Y-level -59).

• Netherite Tools – Upgrade diamond tools with netherite ingots.

👉 Example: Crafting a Pickaxe

• 2 sticks + 3 planks (or cobblestone, iron, diamond, netherite).

🔹 Crafting Weapons

• Sword – 2 blocks (plank/stone/iron/diamond/netherite) + 1 stick.

• Bow – 3 sticks + 3 strings.

• Crossbow – 3 sticks + 2 strings + iron ingot + tripwire hook.

• Trident (cannot be crafted, only found).

🔹 Crafting Armor

• Helmet – 5 blocks (iron, gold, diamond, netherite, leather).

• Chestplate – 8 blocks.

• Leggings – 7 blocks.

• Boots – 4 blocks.

🔹 Crafting with Redstone

Redstone = Minecraft’s electricity ⚡.

• Redstone Torch – 1 stick + 1 redstone dust.

• Piston – Wood + cobblestone + redstone + iron.

• Redstone Lamp – Glowstone + redstone.

• Dispenser – Bow + cobblestone + redstone.

With redstone, you can make automatic farms, doors, elevators, traps, and secret bases.
