A Crafting Table (formerly known as workbench) is a block available in Alpha and Beta. Right-clicking on a crafting table will open the 3×3 crafting grid which allows you to craft more items than with the crafting grid in your inventory. A crafting table is essential in order to advance far in the game. It is one of the most important blocks in the game as starting tools cannot be created without it. Items left in the crafting table spaces will fall out when the crafting screen is closed.

When a crafting table is mined, even without a tool, it can be picked up, to be moved or stored. Like other blocks, a crafting table can be mined slightly faster with a sword than by hand or using another tool, although it counts as an incorrect usage and reduces the sword's durability by twice as much as hitting a mob once.
