Crafting in Minecraft

Minecraft is a game, based on building different structures. The process is called crafting, and the players are able to use blocks, tools and many other resources. Crafting starts when a player moves blocks or tools from inventory into the crafting grid. For example, 2x2 crafting grid can be accessed directly from the player`s inventory. A larger one crafting grid, 3x3 can be accessed by clicking the right button of the mouse on the Crafting table. In Minecraft there are items, which arrangement do not matter at all, they can be formed in different shapes. For example, the Fermented spider eyes can have its ingredients place anywhere within the blocks.

As for the Minecraft rules and features, the main game objects must be in certain and arranged forms. These objects, during the game, can be transformed in other form, which must fit the crafting grid. The Minecraft players have easy access to their game inventory, which made possible working with 2x2 crafting grids. There are certain grids that need larger sizes. For example, when a player makes bread, it can`t be transformed into 2x2 grid, because the object`s recipe is 3x1 by default. It means that the bread can be made on the top, bottom or middle row of the 3x3 grid.

The size of the grid does matter in Minecraft, as recipes made in for2x2 crafting grid can be made only in that size. Tools, such as wooden planks, sticks, and even crafting table are always in this certain size.
In crafting there is certain period of durability for most of the weapons, tools and armor. It`s called item durability and the aforementioned items have limited period of use. Some of the partly worn-out item can be repaired, simply by combining two damaged items into one less damaged one.
