Steps To Make A Bowl
1. Open Your Crafting Menu
To craft a bowl, you first need to open your crafting table in Minecraft. You should see the same grid as in the image below.

2. Add The Bowl Items To The Menu
In the crafting table, add the 3 planks to the grid. You can use any type of plank including oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, crimson, or warped planks. We will be using oak wood planks in this tutorial.
You must add the items to the grid exactly as shown in the image below. In the 2nd row place down 1 wood plank in the 1st box and 1 wood plank in the 3rd box. In the 3rd row place down 1 wood plank in the middle box. This is the Minecraft bowl recipe.

After you've added the items to the crafting grid as described above, you'll notice four bowls in the box on the right.
3. Move The Bowls To Your Inventory
Lastly, drag the bowls down to your inventory so you can use them.
