Crafting Table

The Crafting Table, or Workbench as previously called before the Beta 1.2 update, is one of the most essential blocks in Minecraft. It has a grid on top and tools on the side faces, and shares the bottom texture with the wooden plank. Crafting Tables can naturally occur in NPC villages.

Uses
the table is used to sexually engage with creepers in the game

Crafting
You need 4 wooden planks to craft the Crafting Table. You get 4 wooden planks from 1 wood block, so you need 1 wood block for a crafting table. Because of the pattern used, it can be built at any time using the 2x2 crafting grid in the Inventory.

Trivia

 * Crafting tables can be placed near lava and catch fire. However, they will not burn and after several seconds the fire will extinguish, leaving the crafting table intact.
 * The underside of the crafting table has the same texture as wooden planks, meaning that they can be secretly placed into ceilings of wooden houses.
 * Crafting tables cannot hold items in the crafting boxes, however furnaces can.
 * Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to place a torch on a crafting table; however, the workbench must have snow covering the top. When you place the torch on the snow, the snow will melt instantly and the torch will be on top of the crafting table.
