4 Birch Planks
4 Jungle Planks
4 Acacia Planks

How to craft a Smithing Table 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 Smithing Table

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a smithing table, place 2 iron ingot and 4 wood planks in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When crafting with wood planks, you can use any kind of wood planks, such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, bamboo, crimson, or warped planks. In our example, we are using oak planks.

When making a smithing table, it is important that the iron ingot and wood planks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box and 1 iron ingot in the second box. In the second row, there should be 1 wood planks in the first box and 1 wood planks in the second box. In the third row, there should be 1 wood planks in the first box and 1 wood planks in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a smithing table.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the smithing table will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Smithing Table to Inventory

Once you have crafted a smithing table, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a smithing table in Minecraft!
