Minecraft: Crafting and Recipe Guide
Crafting is one of the most important processes in the game and this is how things are made in Minecraft. The process of crafting is rather simple: in order to create something all you need is to have the required number of items in your inventory and combine them in a particular order or in no order at all. At the very beginning of the game you will be able to craft things with the help of 2x2 Crafting Grid. You can access it at any time from your inventory.
2x2 Crafting Grid
However, for advanced products you will need a bigger crafting grid that can be accessed by right-clicking on a Crafting Table.
3x3 Crafting Table Grid
The good news is that in Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition things work a bit simpler than on PC. There are still 2x2 and 3x3 Crafting Grids but players are not forced to place items in a certain order to make things work. Instead it simply displays the ingredients required to craft the selected item and allows the player to craft whatever he needs as long as the ingredients are available. So far there about 180 different recipes available in Minecraft but their number growth constantly, so if you do not find one in the list below, do not forget to leave a comment and it will be added shortly.
