Crafting On The Xbox and Pocket Editions
Minecraft XboxandPocketEditions useasimpler crafting interface that
lists all the available crafting recipes and makes recipes selectable when
all the required ingredients are present in your inventory. You'll still
need to craft the base components, such as turning wood blocks into
planks, and then those into sticks, to open up the derivative recipes, but
you won't need to worry about remembering the components of each re-
cipe or where they should be placed on the crafting grid. It's all in view.
On the Xbox, press the X button to open the initial 2x2 inventory craft-
ing area so you can build a crafting table, then use the Left Trigger to
access the table's grid. Access the Pocket Edition's crafting menu with
the Ellipsis (...) block in the toolbar.
Now craft an axe by placing two sticks in the middle and lower middle slots in the crafting
table.Thenarrangethreewoodenplankblocksintheuppermiddle,upperright,andmiddle
right slots to build an axe.
That's all there is to it. Easy, right? There are hundreds of crafting recipes in Minecraft,
all with different arrangements of items in the grid using many different materials, but the
actual arrangement of items usually shares some similarity with the physical object. You
can see this even more so with the pickaxe and sword, and it won't take long for you to
memorize the most useful recipes.
To create your first pickaxe, set another two sticks in the middle and lower middle slots.
Then arrange three wooden planks across the top row.
