The 21 Most Essential Minecraft Recipes
- Potion of Strength
As you probably know, there are dozens of craftable Minecraft potions. But the Potion of Strength is particularly appealing because of how useful it is in combat. For three minutes, one Potion of Strength gives you a +130% boost to your attack damage.
Here’s the recipe:
- Components: 1 Water Bottle, 1 Nether Wart, 1 Blaze Powder
- Pattern: start with water bottle and Nether wart; place Nether wart in topmost box of Brewing Stand and water bottle in lower left box to create an Awkward Potion. Add blaze powder topmost box once Nether wart has disappeared
- Blast Furnace
In Minecraft, a blast furnace is an incredibly useful tool that can smelt items twice as fast as a regular Minecraft furnace. You can find one in a Village in the Armorer’s house, or you can just craft your own! The blast furnace recipe is as follows:
- Components: 5 Iron Ingots, 1 Furnace, 3 Smooth Stones
- Pattern: place the furnace in the center square; place all three smooth stones in the lowest row, then fill in the remaining boxes with the iron ingots
- Smoker
Like the blast furnace, a Minecraft smoker cooks food twice as fast as a regular furnace. It’s incredibly useful to have on-hand, especially in Survival Mode. And the ingredients for the recipe are fairly easy to obtain, too:
- Components: 1 Furnace, 4 Wood Logs
- Pattern: place the furnace in the center square, and then place the wood logs around it in the four immediate directions (top, left, right, bottom)
- Smooth Stone
Smooth stone blocks are one of those basic building essentials that turn up in practically every recipe – which is why players stock up on mountains of the stuff. Once you know how to make smooth stone blocks in Minecraft, you’ll be well on your way to crafting hundreds of other items.
And it shouldn’t be too hard, seeing as the only raw ingredient you really need here is stone.
- Components: 1 Stone, 1 Furnace Fuel (like Coal)
- Pattern: place the fuel (coal) in the lower box of the furnace, then place the stone in the upper box
- Lantern
It may just be a decoration, but you’ll be amazed by what a lantern can do for your dull, bland, and dimly-lit house. And it doesn’t take that much to make, either; just some iron nuggets and a single torch. Here’s the full Minecraft lantern recipe:
- Components: 8 Iron Nuggets, 1 Torch
- Pattern: place a torch in the center square, then fill up the rest of the squares with iron nuggets
- Stonecutter
The stonecutter is actually a craftable item that can be used to craft other items.
Pretty meta, huh?
It can be used as an alternative to the crafting table, but only for stone items (hence the name). If you want to make a stonecutter, Minecraft makes it pretty easy to do so.
- Components: 1 Iron Ingot, 3 Stones
- Pattern: place all three stones in the middle row, then place iron ingot in the top middle square
- Potion of Weakness
Like the Potion of Strength, the Potion of Weakness is a highly sought-after item. But its effect, of course, is the complete opposite of the former. Still, it’s fairly easy to brew in the brewing stand. You just need two ingredients:
- Components: 1 Fermented Spider Eye, 1 Water Bottle
- Pattern: add fermented spider eye to the topmost box, then add a water bottle to the lower-left box
- Observer
A Minecraft observer is basically used to detect changes in neighboring blocks. Gathering all the ingredients to craft it can be a bit tricky, but an observer is so incredibly useful to have on-hand, we highly recommend pushing through and crafting it. You will need:
- Components: 2 Redstone Dust, 1 Nether Quartz, 6 Cobblestones
- Pattern: place three cobblestones in the top row and three cobblestones in the bottom row; place Nether quartz in the middle right box, then fill up the remaining two boxes with Redstone dust.
- Map
If you want to navigate your way around the wide, wide world of Minecraft, you’ll need a map. And for you to obtain a map, you actually need to craft one. What’s even cooler is that once you’re done crafting your map, you can turn it into a fully usable item. So, want to know how to make a map in Minecraft? Here’s the recipe:
- Components: 8 Papers, 1 Compass
- Pattern: place compass in the center square, then fill up the rest of the squares with papers
- Paper
The whole deal with Minecraft is that it is, essentially, a creation game. Yes, combat and survival make up a good deal of the gameplay. But refusing to craft anything sort of puts you at a disadvantage. Practically anything you need, you have to craft.
Yes, even paper. Minecraft asks that you craft that, too. Here’s how:
- Components: 3 Sugar Canes
- Pattern: place all three sugar canes in middle row, leaving top and bottom row empty
- Piston
A piston plays a vital piece in many craftable Minecraft mechanisms. It’s a basic building block without which bigger machine blocks would not function. Here’s the piston recipe:
- Components: 3 Wood Planks, 4 Cobblestones, 1 Iron Ingot, 1 Redstone
- Pattern: place three wood planks in topmost row, then iron ingot in the center square; place Redstone in the bottom middle square and fill the remaining squares with cobblestones
- Redstone Comparator
Like a piston, a Redstone comparator in Minecraft serves as an essential building block for bigger, more “complex” mechanisms or machine blocks. Here’s how to make one:
- Components: 3 Stones, 3 Redstone Torches, 1 Nether Quartz
- Pattern: place the Nether quartz in the center square; fill bottom row with stones, then place Redstone torches around Nether quartz following immediate directions – top, left, right
- Armor Stand
In Minecraft, an armor stand can serve as both decoration and functional equipment. You can hang your armor on it when you’re not using it. In fact, if you have multiple sets of armor, you can use armor stands to display every armor set you own. Perfect for the “accomplished warrior” narrative.
The armor stand recipe is as follows:
- Components: 1 Smooth Stone Slab, 6 Sticks
- Pattern: place the smooth stone slab in the lower middle square, then place two sticks on either side; place three sticks in the topmost row and the last stick in the center square
- Loom
A lot of Minecraft decorations are made using the loom. Just like a crafting table, a loom allows you to create new items – in this case, decorations – by combining ingredients. For instance, you can combine a banner, a dye, and a banner pattern to create your own unique, customized banner.
This is the loom Minecraft recipe. Note that you can use any type of wood (spruce, dark oak, etc.):
- Components: 2 Strings, 2 Wooden Planks
- Pattern: place both strings in the first two squares of the upper row; place both wooden planks in the first two squares of the second (middle) row
- Stone Pressure Plate
Stone pressure plates in Minecraft do pretty much what you’d expect them to do. They’re pretty easy to make and pretty nifty to have around (especially if you’re in the habit of opening doors from a distance). The recipe is pretty simple, too:
- Components: 2 Stone Blocks
- Pattern: place both stone blocks in the middle row, first and the second column
- Shield
A shield is a quintessential item for any melee-ranged whack-and-attacker. Thankfully, the ingredients used for crafting it are pretty easy to obtain. Here’s how to make a shield in Minecraft:
- Components: 6 Wooden Planks, 1 Iron Ingot
- Pattern: place iron ingot in the top middle square, with one wooden plank on either side; then, three wooden planks in the middle row followed by one wooden plank in the bottom middle square
- Ender Chest
This visually sleek chest is another must-have on your crafting list. It allows players to store up to 27 stacked items – just like a regular chest. The neat part is that two ender chests can be connected regardless of location. This just means that you can access the items stored from either chest. Definitely saves you a trip once you know how to use them strategically.
The ender chest recipe is:
- Components: 1 Eye of Ender, 8 Obsidian Blocks
- Pattern: place the eye of ender in the center square; fill the remaining squares with obsidian blocks
- Book
You already know how to craft paper (see number 10), so you might as well take it one step further. Once you know how to make a book in Minecraft, you’re well on your way to crafting a handful of other incredibly useful items.
Here’s the recipe:
- Components: 3 Papers, 1 Leather
- Pattern: place three papers in the topmost row and leather directly below, in the first square of the second row
- Eye of Ender
You can’t find the Ender Portal without an Eye of Ender. You can’t make that cool, two-way Ender Chest, either (see number 17). So you might as well take down the Eye of Ender recipe. Trust us, it’ll come in handy later in your Minecraft journey.
- Components: 1 Eye of Ender Pearl, 1 Blaze Powder
- Pattern: place eye of Ender in the center square and blaze powder directly to the right of it (third column, second row)
- Tripwire Hook
Just like a stone pressure plate, a tripwire hook has a myriad of uses that you might find incredibly handy when building in Minecraft. It can be used to detect multiple entities when they pass through your tripwire circuit. You can use this to give yourself a head start, combat advantage, and the like. Plus, the tripwire hook recipe is surprisingly easy. All you need is:
- Components: 1 Iron Ingot, 1 Stick, 1 Wood Plank
- Pattern: place the stick in the center square, the iron ingot in the upper middle square, and the wood plank in the lower middle square
- Anvil
Lastly, (but most certainly not least), you have the old, reliable anvil. Players can use this tool to enchant, repair, and name items in their game. It’s pretty much a basic in any Minecraft item starter-pack. Here’s the anvil recipe:
- Components: 3 Iron Blocks, 4 Iron Ingots
- Pattern: place all three iron blocks in the top row; place three iron ingots in the bottom row and the last iron ingot in the center square
