Mastering Minecraft 4th Edition
BROUGHT TO YOU BY PRIMA GAMES

You Can Do Anything with a
Little Practice

By the time you begin this chapter, you should understand how to control your character and survive in the wild,

while crafting basic tools and structures. This chapter takes those minimal goals and extends them considerably. By
the end, you should know how to build large structures, harvest any type of material, defeat monsters in all three of
Minecraft's worlds, and so on. All major concepts are dealt with here in detail.

HOW TO CRAFT
We've already talked about the very basics of crafting in Minecraft, but now we'll delve all the way into the heart of the
matter. Crafting is an important skill for any player.You can't do much of anything without it, so knowing how to access all
recipes in the game is vital.
Your basic character can always craft any recipe that requires only the 2x2 crafting grid.
This is accessed from your inventory at any time. To use more complex recipes, you need
a Crafting Table. This is made by putting a Wood Plank into each slot of the 2x2 crafting
grid.You then deploy your Crafting Table somewhere nearby and start working.
For this reason, we always suggest that players carry around either a Crafting Table or
at least a decent number of Wood Planks so they can make a table without much delay.
Having Wood Planks is great for many reasons, because they're also vital for Sticks, which are key components of almost every tool. So, you'd be

crazy not to keep spare Wood around.
With access to a Crafting Table, you can work on any recipe that you have the correct ingredients to
make. Learn which ingredients you need by searching through Tools, Resources, and Collectibles.
Certain basic ingredients are so common that they're great to keep on hand. We already mentioned Wood,
but you also want to have some Cobblestone and perhaps Iron Ingots as well. A supply of these base
materials can yield quite a bit of what you need. With just Wood Planks and Cobblestone, you can set up
a convenient, safe base anywhere in the world. Make a Crafting Table, Furnace, block yourself into a room,
add a Door, and you can work in peace for as long as you like. Add Chests as needed to store things
there for the future.
It's often smart to place Chests near your Furnaces and Crafting Tables, because these three household features work together. Keep ingredients in the Chests, smelt them
in the Furnace, and use your Crafting Tables to make more advanced products.You don't want to run around your house wasting time going to each station. Having these
things in the same area is extremely convenient!
Consider placing Signs near your Chests once you have more than a few of them. Organize the contents of these Chests
to make sure you know where your items are located and can access them quickly without having to look around
for minutes.
Several shortcuts allow you to craft more comfortably. If you put enough crafting ingredients in their slots to make
multiple items, hold down the Shift key and click on the final product to make as many as possible instantly.
