Crafting/Blocks

This page contains a complete list of block crafting recipes. A block crafting recipe is defined as a recipe that gives you a block. This page does not show crafting recipes that give items which place blocks (e.g. beds).

To save space, some recipes are animated (requires JavaScript). Shapeless recipes are marked with a pair of intertwined arrows on the crafting table graphic. A 'shapeless' recipe is one where it does not matter how the ingredients are placed in the crafting grid; any arrangement will produce the desired output.
