Crafting

From Minepedia - The Minecraft Wiki!

Crafting is a major method by which blocks, tools, and other resources are created in Minecraft. It is a function only available in Indev, Infdev and Alpha modes. In order to craft something, the player must move items from their inventory into the crafting grid, then arrange them into the correct pattern for the item they wish to create. As long as the proper pattern of resources is placed it will not matter where in the grid it is.

The player has access to a 2x2 crafting grid - located in the inventory screen - at all times. Simple things can be crafted there, like wood planks, sticks and workbenches. To craft with a 3x3 grid, the player must first place a workbench block into the game world, then right click on it.

Currently, there are 94 recipes- this includes each recipe in the animations below and the two methods of making Mushroom Soup. Chainmail armor is also included in this count although it cannot be crafted without hacking the player's inventory.

When crafting some Tools and Swords, each improvement in building material roughly doubles the number of times the item may be used prior to breaking as well as increasing its speed or power. Once an item breaks, it disappears from the inventory.

• Wood: 33 uses, n = 0
• Gold: 33 uses, n = 0
• Stone: 65 uses, n = 1
• Iron: 129 uses, n = 2
• Diamond: 1025 uses, n = 5

The formula for the number of uses is 2^(n+5)+1, where "n" is the durability of the material being used, and the values for each are on the above list. Regardless of what item is being used, a use counts as either the complete de-construction of a block or a single strike at an enemy, but incomplete attempts (stopping in the middle) to de-construct a block do not qualify as a use. If a tool is used inappropriately, such as using a pickaxe to attack mobs, each use will have the equivalent of 2 proper uses.
