Lodestone - Wiki Guide 6 1 Netherite Ingot

How to craft a Lodestone in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:

Lodestone - Wiki Guide 8

2. Add Items to make a Lodestone

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a lodestone, place 8 chiseled stone bricks and 1 netherite ingot in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a lodestone, it is important that the chiseled stone blocks and netherite ingot are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 chiseled stone bricks. In the second row, there should be 1 chiseled stone bricks in the first box, 1 netherite ingot in the second box, and 1 chiseled stone bricks in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 chiseled stone bricks. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a lodestone.
