The recipes people open a wiki for.
Nine grids. The recipe book in your inventory is still right if a snapshot moves one of these.
Bed
1 bed
Any wool colour, any planks. Sleeping sets your spawn and resets phantom insomnia.
Shield
1 shield
Hold right-click to block. An axe still breaks your guard.
Bucket
1 bucket
Three iron in a V. Water, lava and milk all use the same bucket.
Piston
1 piston
The start of most redstone doors. A slime ball turns it sticky.
Enchanting table
1 table
Book on top, diamonds beside the obsidian, three obsidian along the bottom. Fifteen bookshelves unlock level 30.
Brewing stand
1 stand
Needs blaze powder as fuel afterwards. The rod comes from a Nether fortress.
Eye of Ender
1 eye · shapeless
Shapeless. Throw it to find a stronghold. Keep a spare to fill the portal frame.
Lodestone
1 lodestone
Eight chiseled stone bricks around a netherite ingot. A compass bound to it points at the block, not at spawn.
Firework rocket
3 rockets
One paper plus one gunpowder is flight 1. Two gunpowder is flight 2, three is flight 3. A star adds a burst.
Potion ingredients, which are not a crafting grid, are on the potion chart. The machines these blocks feed are in crafting, combat and magic.
