Usage
Crafting
Pressing use on a crafting table will open the 3×3 crafting grid that allows the player to craft many more items than are available with the crafting grid in the inventory.
The recipe book is available to the left of the crafting grid (collapsed by default in Java Edition, expanded by default in Bedrock Edition), which stores crafting recipes for reference and one-click crafting.
Fuel
Crafting tables can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per crafting table.

Trivia
- The application icon for Java Edition is a crafting table, since 1.6.1.
- 1.6.2 had a strange icon like RubyDung versions.
- Before that, the icon was the Java icon.
- Now the app icon is used for all versions.
- Now it changed again.
- The original inventory screen before January 29, 2010 was the crafting table interface, meaning there was no way of putting on armor yet, and the player could not be seen.
