Future Crafting
There is a future crafting section containing books and book and quill, does this not need to have Ender Chest in it too? Crazy_Hazy 15:02, 27 May 2012 (BST)

New Sandstone Blocks for 1.2.4
New sandstone blocks should be added to the list.

"Smooth" Sandstone is created by placing regular sandstone in the crafting grid in the same way sand is to make sand stone.

The "Hiroglyph" Block is made by placing two regualr sand stone slabs on top of on another in the crafting grid.

feel free to discuss this. :)

(p.s. I accidentally started a topic about this issue by mistake. It can be removed and I apologize. (I read the rules)

New dyes
Wow, Notch added a LOT of new dyes, including some that are made by combining other dyes.

Here's a list I grabbed from a forum entry, maybe this can help:

Red Flower = Red

Yellow Flower = Yellow

Red and Yellow Dyes Next to Each Other = Orange

Bone = White (Bone Meal)

Bone Meal and Blue Next to Each Other = Light Blue <- This still need's added

Bone Meal + Cactus Green = Lime

Bone Meal + Ink Sack = Grey

Bone Meal + Red Flower = Pink

Blue + Green = Cyan

Red + Blue = Purple

Smelted:

Cactus = Green

. . . and according to his blog post, there are 15 total. So there's a lot more.

Magenta Dye can also be made with 1 x Lapis Lazuli, 1 x Bone Meal and 2 x Rose Red anywhere in the crafting grid. This produces 4 x Magenta Dye. TechHeadFred 00:41, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Multiple Wool colors
I don't think it prudent on space nor ease of use to have different possible pages for each color of wool, I've sent them all going to the normal wool page until a solution can be discussed here, or on the talk:wool page. St. Fenix 05:35, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Recipes in Books (a little off topic)
The more recipes there are, the more I like the idea to have them somehow in the game. To have a simple "recipes" tab, where you can look up all the recipes, is somehow too obvious and takes the fun about recipe knowledge out of the game. So what I thought of is to have recipe knowledge stored into books when created. One single random recipe for each book. Libraries (a collection of book cases) would make perfect sense then ;) I would like to discuss here, and if you support that idea, feel free to vote for it at getsatisfaction.


 * Silly Idea, because the sense of Minecraft is not to build, its to survive and find out crafting recipies! Tizgin
 * The sense of Minecraft actually is decided by the person playing it. I personally don't care about that survival thing, and play on peaceful all the time. I love to construct buildings, dungeons and whatever. I also don't care about finding recipes myself, i just look them up.
 * With a game like Minecraft, every player decides what his goals in the game actually are. My goal is to build the ultimate Minecraft City. Yours might be surviving, finding recipes, exploring caves. Whatever works for you. --Cookies 03:22, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

I think its an ok idea but play some total minor on the xbox 360 the idea is to similar to dig deep. and my opinion minecraft is just fine the way it is in total minor you have to go out and find blueprints to make anything. From scarab_god Jan. 17th

Do we really need these pointless redirects?
Why does the "Wood -> Processed Wood" table link to a page called "Four Woods"? That pages is just a redirect to Wood. For the same reason, why does the Fence recipe link to "Two Fence"? This is pointless, it's also just a redirect to "Fence". This is cluttering up the wiki badly. --Flippeh 19:34, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Number of recipes
"Currently, there are 131 recipes; this includes each recipe in the animations below and the two methods of making Mushroom Soup. Chainmail armor is also included in this count."
 * I count 132 recipes, with only one for the Mushroom Soup (what is the other one mentioned?)… – Scaler 22:18, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Adding in Minecraft Crafting Guide app
My Minecraft Crafting Guide app, dedicated to this page which i released a few days ago with a lot of positive feedback and over 1,000 downloads: http://alandablogger.co.uk/post/2737641429/minecraft-crafting-guide-application

I think it should be inserted in the Main Crafting page, (As a single link or indeed included with a screen-shot) because it's an application dedicated to this recipe list, ultimately showing the players how to craft certain items.

Of course applications aren't meant to be displayed here as there is a separate section for that however no one has created an application like mine, again dedicated to this recipe page.

I think every player of minecraft (more so the newbies or players who forget recipes) would appreciate this application, it's like having MinecraftWiki on your Desktop. It can be run in the background, without internet. If you forget how to craft an item, you pull it up and you can very easily, and quickly find your item. -Monty251 17:49, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Monty251


 * It doesn't matter that no one has ever created such an application before, that doesn't mean that it has exclusive rights to be on this page instead of "just" on the third party applications page. I'm a programmer, too, and I know we want people to use our stuff, but from your contributions I can see that all you're doing is blatant self promotion as not a single edit you ever made was related to something other than your program. It seems more like you trying to farm donations. --Flippeh 17:55, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Lock
Should this page be locked? I've noticed a few vandalisms to this page recently (created an account to undo one of said vandalisms). Seeing as it only needs to be modified on new version releases, can it be locked to accounts older than a given period (30 days?) --zifnab06 19:55, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

The bone meal description says "Used as a dye to create white (original) wool." If this is the case, what is the crafting recipe for creating white wool? --WhoIsSparticus 07:26, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Add seperate Pages for the Animated Crafting Grids?
What do you think about Adding some Pages for the Animated Crafting Grids? I mean pages where the Content is of Gold, Diamond, Iron and Lapis Lazuli for Example. I dunno how to Name, but what do you think about the Idea? The meaning in back is, that its strange, if you can click on every item in every Crafting Grid but not in animations.. Tizgin

Gravel
I just noticed that 2 cobble next to each other makes one gravel. I dont have any mods installed that would cause this so could someone add it to the crafting page? Im too lazy to do it myself.Peturd158

Animated Items
The cells in the crafting grid that have animated items in them (logs, materials for tools, materials for ore blocks etc) arent showing up at all for me. Im not sure if this is happening for anyone else but i thought id point it out.Toadbert

Vandalism
The recipe for Chests is listed instead of the recipe for Planks. FelixGriffin 22:22, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

That's me not reading properly, Minecraftgeek1337 vandalized it, putting the output as chests, so I assumed that it was the original, restoring it to chests. --Poiuyt580 22:26, 19 April 2011 (UTC) Fixed!

Printing
The printable version does not work - there are lots of blank sections. I suspect this is because of GIFs used for some of the Input>Output images. This needs to be addressed as it severely limits the usefulness of this page to many. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by L0max (Talk 21:30, 3 May 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * 1. I didn't know there even was a printable version, or why anyone would print it!
 * 2. The page doesn't use any animated gifs. – ultradude25 ( T at 11:39, 3 May 2011 (UTC)


 * 1. Left hand side of the page, Toolbox -> Printable version.  It is useful to print pages like this and have them next you when playing full screen.  Especially useful for beginners and/or children.
 * 2. I'm not sure how the "animations" are done on the page (I assumed GIF), but if you look at, say, the "Ore Blocks", "Input>>Output" image, you'll see what I mean - the item images change from Gold Ingots to Iron Ingots to Diamond Gems to Lapis Lazuli Dyes and over again.  Not good for printing.L0max 11:54, 3 May 2011 (UTC)


 * The animations are done with javascript. I tried to print it, and the result is nice. Of course the animations does not work ^^", but it prints what is on the page when the printing is launched. – Scaler (t) 12:04, 3 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your input. I tried a different web browser and it printed OK.  Chrome -> print incorrectly, IE8 -> print OK.  Go figure. – L0max 12:12, 3 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Chrome seems to have a lot of problems doing basic tasks, or it at least does them in a strange way (like refreshing the page when you have an anchor link, NO browser does that). Only thing it does good is start up times. :/ At least you've solved the issue. Next you just need to invent paper that supports javascript and you'll be able to print it out and have the animations still. :P – ultradude25 ( T at 12:23, 3 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Is an anchor link where it links to a location on the same page? --HexZyle 05:41, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

With as many recipes as we have now should there be a new column which indicates which version the recipe was introduced? Or at least a column which indicates the newest recipes? --69.164.192.56 02:25, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Chests
The description says that chests do not open with a block above them. However, a chest does open with only a glass block above them(not sure about glass panes though)~Becker260
 * Chests will not open if a solid block is above them. This excludes transparent blocks like stairs, glass, vines, iron bars, etc. --HexZyle 05:24, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

suggested changes in descriptions
I read through all descriptions of the crafting recipes, and there are several changes I suggest for the sake of clarity. I suggest changing the description for the boat from:


 * Used to travel in water quicker than swimming.

to:


 * Used to travel over water surface quicker than swimming.

and a part of the cake description from:


 * The buckets are not lost in the process.

to


 * The buckets are not lost in the crafting process.

It should also be noted that melons only drop 3-7 melon slices, so crafting melons from 9 slices is a very inefficient way to store melon slices. Unless the player favors compact storage over efficient storage, it should be used for decorational purposes only.

And maybe consider removing the "But" before "it will always open away from you" in the fence gate description, as there is no contradiction

1.9 Added Recipes
Strangely, most 1.9 Recipes are not added into the page, only the nether brick things.

--31.151.146.87 13:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

This is because 1.9 has not been officially released yet. Feel free to add these to the page, but please make a note saying that they are only available in 1.9/1.9 pre-releases --HexZyle 23:57, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Cauldron Missing
This is a valid as of 1.0.0 It is working on my server and is missing from the main page. I assume it is missing as its crafting is lesser known and I was surprised to find that it worked. the below information I found from the Cauldron page its self.

I need help (preciso de ajuda)
How I can play minecraft if I have this bug (could not creat java virtual machine''?

Wool change
It says that wool is easily obtained from sheep, however in 1.8 and beyond, you have to go out there and find sheep. Most likely, it will be easier to just use string from indefinitely spawning spiders.

String and Wool
If you can use 4 pieces of string to make wool shouldn't we be able to break wool down into 4 pieces of string?

Secret recipe?
Notch mentioned something about one recipe no one knows about. Did he at least say what it makes? alexkill51 - 10 March 2012

He didn't say it's a recipe. He said that "While all the recipes are known, there's still a secret that nobody discovered yet". Then in an article on some web page they mentioned him saying that there's "lots of recipes, but there's still something that nobody's yet found". Then, on another web page, they said that he said that "there's still a recipe that nobody's found". Ahh, the wonders of misquoting people. 79.139.99.90 16:14, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

But it has already been found. --Lolmaster 16:16, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Note about shapeless recipes
If a future recipe is shapeless and requires three ingredients please do not make the crafting recipe in a straight line like this (fake recipe for example)

Instead make it like this.

This shows that it can fit and be made in a 2x2 crafting table. Before I changed the page to follow this people were mystified that I could make mushroom soup without a crafting table. --Moxxy 17:12, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

New Sandstone
New sandstone blocks should be added to the list.

"Smooth" Sandstone is created by placing regular sandstone in the crafting grid in the same way sand is to make sand stone.

The "Hiroglyph" Block is made by placing two regualr sand stone slabs on top of on another in the crafting grid.

feel free to discuss this. :)

Wood and wool colours
I recently added wood and wool colours to the crafting grid, but it was undone, for the reason that a note would suffice and that it was visually annoying. I do not see it as annoying, and still feel that it is better with the alternating colours, can we get a third opinion? If the revert stays in effect, someone needs to go change it everywhere else for consistency (the pages for wool and planks, any item or block made of them, as well as any page for a material used in conjunction with wood or wool). Also this note should be added (both here and probably in the aforementioned spots.) Cultist O 19:36, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I think the alternating colors could be used to indicate what kinds of wood yield which planks, but otherwise the note indicating any color wood/wool works in the recipe should suffice. Cobalt32 19:50, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Should suffice or would be better? Cultist O 21:03, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I have opened a topic here to try to come to an agreement as it relates to all pages. Cultist O 22:10, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Stone Brick Slab
Hey I noticed that there isn't a recipie for a stone brick slab there so it's three stone bricks in a horizontel line :D
 * It's in the wiki codes, but apparently it skips the stone brick and other slabs, same with stairs. I just don't know why either. Funky3000 21:47, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks like Grid/Crafting Square Slide (which is used by Grid/Crafting Table) is limited to 6 frames; everything after that is ignored. You could try asking one of the admins to change it; I don't understand the code enough to fiddle with it myself. -- Orthotope 02:03, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * We're going to need to change that in 1.3, the new slabs for wood unless we just separate stone slabs and wood slabs seeing as they have different properties. Funky3000 23:09, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
