A crafting table is a utility block used to craft items within a 3×3 grid. When right clicked (default on PC), it allows a player to access the crafting grid.
Appearance
The crafting table has a 3×3 grid on its top and, on the sides, various tools are depicted (which are unused except for the sound). Among the tools, there is a knife, an axe, and a pair of scissors. The underside of a crafting table has a texture that is exactly like that of wooden planks. Crafting tables will also naturally generate in Village libraries, Witch Huts, and the basements of Igloos.
