Crafting Table

A Workbench is a block only available in Alpha mode. It is used to craft items such as blocks, tools and other resources.

To obtain a Workbench, use your inventory crafting grid (2×2) and place 4 wood blocks inside (one in each slot). Once created, place the workbench in the game world by placing the workbench in to an action slot, selecting that slot as the active item in hand, and place on the ground by right clicking a clear space.

Once placed, right clicking on a Workbench will open the 3×3 crafting grid where you can create new recipes. A Workbench is essential in order to advance far in the game. It is even necessary for the mining of ores, as picks can only be crafted with a Workbench.

When a workbench is mined, even without a tool, it can be picked up, to be moved or stored. Strangely, a sword mines things like workbenches and fences faster than an axe.
