Required To Make A Smithing Table

4 Planks (any type)
2 Iron ingots

Steps To Make A Smithing Table

1. Open Your Crafting Menu

To craft a smithing table, you first need to open your crafting table in Minecraft. You should see the same grid as in the image below.

2. Add The Smithing Table Items To The Menu

In the crafting table, add the 4 planks and the 2 iron ingots 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 1st row place down 1 iron ingot in the 1st box and 1 iron ingot in the 2nd box. In the 2nd row place down 1 wood plank in the 1st box and 1 wood plank in the 2nd box. In the 3rd row place down 1 wood plank in the 1st box and 1 wood plank in the 2nd box. This is the Minecraft smithing table recipe.

After you've added the items to the crafting grid as described above, you'll notice the smithing table in the box on the right.

3. Move The Smithing Table To Your Inventory
