Comparator recipe

Follow the recipe below. The pattern must use the correct slots when the recipe is shaped.

Place 3 Redstone Torches, 1 Quartz, and 3 Stone in a Crafting Table to make 1 Comparator.

The 3 × 3 pattern needs the 3 × 3 grid of a crafting table. Ingredients must stay in the shown positions, and most patterns can also be mirrored.
Each craft uses 7 ingredient items and produces 1 Comparator. A full stack of 64 takes 64 crafts and 448 ingredient items in total.

Output: 1 Comparator

A redstone comparator reads how full a container is and can compare or subtract signals, which is essential for item sorters.
