Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Breaking[edit | edit source]

Crafting tables can be mined by hand or with any tool, but axes are the quickest.

Natural generation[edit | edit source]

Crafting tables naturally generate in witch huts, igloos, trail ruins, tents outside pillager outposts, in trial chambers (a hidden chamber inside of the "Intersection 2" room), and in some small village houses - only in savanna, desert and taiga villages.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Placement[edit | edit source]

Regardless of the player's position during placement, the different textures of the block are always facing in the same position (the textures with the saws are facing west and north, while the one with the crafting grid is facing up).

Crafting[edit | edit source]

Main article: Crafting
The GUI of the crafting table.

Pressing use on a crafting table opens the 3×3 crafting grid that allows the player to craft many more items than are available with the crafting grid in the inventory, which is only 2×2.

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[edit | edit source]

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

Repairing[edit | edit source]

Main article: item repair

A crafting table can be used to repair damaged tools, weapons, and armor. When two damaged items of the same material are combined side-by-side in the crafting grid they produce a new item with the sum of the durabilities plus a 5% bonus, with a maximum total of 100% durability for that item. Using this method does not require any experience, but removes any enchantments (like a grindstone) on either or both items except curse enchantments. The only way to retain enchantments is to repair damaged items on an anvil.

Note blocks[edit | edit source]

Crafting tables can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

Issues[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Crafting Table" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • From version 1.6.1 through version 1.19.4, the application icon for Java Edition was a crafting table. As of version 1.20, the icon for Java Edition is now a grass block (for releases), or a dirt block (for snapshots).
  • The original inventory screen before January 29, 2010 was the crafting table interface. There were no armor slots, no off-hand slot, no recipe book, nor viewport of the player's skin.
  • The texture of the crafting table visually features a hammer, saw, and pliers. None of these tools are currently implemented in the game.
