To Craft you need a specific block called a crafting table. A crafting table can be used to make items or other blocks to help you progress through the game. Every item you can craft has a unique recipe. Some recipes are harder then others. An example of a difficult recipe is the beacon. To craft a beacon you need to obtain a item called the nether star which you can only get by killing a boss called the Wither. You also need three obsidian which is only obtainable by breaking it with diamond pickaxe and to get a diamond pickaxe you need to mine for it. It also needs 5 glass and glass is really easy to get. You only need to smelt sand into a furnace to get glass. An easy item to craft is a furnace. To craft a furnace you just need 8 cobblestone which you can acquire by mining down or going into a cave and mining stone. Back to the crafting table, to make a crafting table you need 4 of any type of wood planks and to get planks you need to break wood and take the wood then open your inventory (aka click E) then take the wood and drag it into the four box’s next to you character and make a square out of the planks into a square then you get a crafting table. I hope you found this helpful.
