How to craft a Redstone Repeater 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:
2. Add Items to make a Redstone Repeater
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a redstone repeater, place 3 stones, 2 redstone torches, and 1 redstone dust in the 3×3 crafting grid.
When making a redstone repeater, it is important that the stones, redstone torches, and redstone dust are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 redstone torch in the first box, 1 redstone dust in the second box, and 1 redstone torch in the third box. In the second row, there should be 3 stones. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a redstone repeater.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the redstone repeater will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Redstone Repeater to Inventory
Once you have crafted a redstone repeater, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made a redstone repeater in Minecraft!
