Crafting grid

  • Open inventory with I.
  • Use the 3 by 3 grid to arrange ingredients.
  • The output slot previews the matching recipe.
  • Open the recipe book with R to search recipes you have learned.

Recipe types

  • Shapeless recipes only need the right ingredients. Position does not matter.
  • Shaped recipes need the right pattern. The pattern can sit anywhere in the grid if the shape stays the same.
  • Some ingredients accept a group, such as any wood plank. Others require an exact item.

Early recipes

  • Tree trunk to planks.
  • Planks to sticks.
  • Coal over stick for torches.
  • Material row over two sticks for a pickaxe.
  • Eight stone around an empty center for a furnace.
  • Eight planks around an empty center for a chest.
  • Three iron ingots in a bucket shape for an empty bucket.

Tools and tiers

  • Pickaxes mine stone and ore.
  • Axes cut wood faster.
  • Shovels dig loose ground faster.
  • Hoes prepare soil for farming.
  • Swords and spears are combat tools.
  • Better materials improve durability, speed, or damage. Common progression starts with wood, then stone, then metals.

Furnaces

  • Place fuel in the fuel slot and the item to process in the input slot.
  • Coal, trunks, planks, and sticks can be used as fuel.
  • Furnaces cook food and smelt materials such as sand, clay, ore lumps, and ore dust.

Buckets and liquids

  • Use an empty bucket on a liquid source to fill it.
  • Use a filled bucket to place the liquid.
  • Placed liquid returns the empty bucket to you.
  • Keep spare buckets when working near farms, caves, or lava.

Farming and food

  • Till soil with a hoe.
  • Plant seeds or crops on tilled soil.
  • Harvest crops for food, crafting materials, or quest objectives.
  • Keep food on the hotbar before mining, exploring, or fighting.

Armor and equipment

  • Equipment slots include head, torso, legs, feet, back, and shield.
  • Armor reduces incoming damage.
  • Shields, capes, and packs use their own slots.
  • Check durability before long fights or deep mining trips.

Storage and machines

  • Use chests for local storage.
  • Use guild chests for shared guild storage when you are in a guild.
  • Keep inventory space free before claiming quest rewards or bulk-crafting outputs.
  • Later crafting can use electric networks, generators, batteries, grinders, electric furnaces, quarries, autocrafters, pipes, and injectors.
