Crafting Table recipe

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

Place 4 matching wood planks in a Crafting Table to make 1 Crafting Table.

The 2 × 2 pattern is small enough to craft in the 2 × 2 grid of your inventory, no crafting table needed.
Each craft uses 4 ingredient items and produces 1 Crafting Table. A full stack of 64 takes 64 crafts and 256 ingredient items in total.

Output: 1 Crafting Table

The crafting table unlocks the 3 × 3 grid that most recipes need, so it is usually the first block you make in a new world.
