Instant Answer
The Essentials
Crafting Table: 4 planks. Furnace: 8 cobblestone. Enchanting Table: 4 obsidian + 2 diamonds + 1 book. Anvil: 3 iron blocks + 4 iron ingots.
01 Tools — Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, Hoe
All tools follow the same pattern: 2 sticks + material in a T-shape (pickaxe), L-shape (axe), or I-shape (shovel). Material tiers: Wood → Stone → Iron → Diamond → Netherite.
- Wooden Pickaxe: 3 planks + 2 sticks (your first tool)
- Iron Pickaxe: 3 iron ingots + 2 sticks (mines diamonds)
- Diamond Pickaxe: 3 diamonds + 2 sticks (mines obsidian)
02 Armour
Full set: Helmet (5 material), Chestplate (8), Leggings (7), Boots (4). Total: 24 of any material. Diamond armour before entering the Nether is strongly recommended.
03 Redstone Basics
- Piston: 3 planks + 4 cobblestone + 1 iron + 1 redstone
- Repeater: 3 stone + 2 redstone torches + 1 redstone
- Comparator: 3 stone + 3 redstone torches + 1 nether quartz
- Observer: 6 cobblestone + 2 redstone + 1 nether quartz
04 Food and Farming
- Bread: 3 wheat (easiest early food)
- Golden Apple: 1 apple + 8 gold ingots
- Cake: 3 wheat + 3 milk + 2 sugar + 1 egg
Cooked steak and porkchops are the best general food — 8 hunger points each.
05 Enchanting Setup
Enchanting table + 15 bookshelves (arranged in a 5×5 ring with 1 block gap). This unlocks level 30 enchantments. Each bookshelf: 3 books + 6 planks. Each book: 3 paper + 1 leather.
