The ultimate Minecraft Pocket Edition recipe guide - Crafting

Minecraft - Pocket Edition is all about building ridiculous architectural wonders by finding raw resources in the world and crafting them into handy tools and building materials.

You can turn some wood and stone into a hardy pickaxe, or melt sand down into glass. You can make bookshelves, or dye wool, or forge a golden apple, or cut rough cobblestone blocks into posh stone bricks.

In our handy charts below, and on the other pages, you can find out how to make everything in the world of Minecraft, and how to find the right materials.

Crafting - Smelting and Stonecutting - Raw Materials

Crafting

In the world of Minecraft, you can make most objects by crafting. Open your inventory and tap on the crafting table to start combining items.

Remember that you'll need to make a crafting table - and then tap on that - to make the bigger and more elaborate objects.

You can find recipes for all the main items in Minecraft - Pocket Edition below, split into handy categories. To make the objects on the left, you'll need the materials on the right. 

Check our page on raw materials if you want to find out where to get the appropriate ingredients.
