Here is a list of every craftable recipe on the Minecraft Wiki. In Minecraft, you start with a 2x2 crafting grid but in order to create most recipes you need to upgrade it into a 3x3 grid. You quickly replace your 2x2 crafting grid in your inventory with a superior crafting table that allows 3x3 crafting recipes. There are many other blocks that aid crafting in Minecraft, such as the smithing table and the fletching table, which are explained on the accompanying video on the left. Once you learn the basics of crafting, there are some productivity tips to be more efficient. You can press shift when you add the item to inventory to buy everything. This should be used with caution, as you don't want to accidently spend 48 iron on 6 chest plates instead of making the 1 chest plate you want. Furthermore, you can hold and drag items over the crafting grid in order to distribute them easily into groups, like dividing them into groups.
Click on an ingredient from your inventory, then click on a cell of your crafting table to place this ingredient. If it's a recipe and creates something, tap on the item it creates to add it to your inventory. This is a game meant to reinforce recipes in your head in an enjoyable manner, simplifying Minecraft to just crafting so you can focus and learn about it easier. You get given the uncraftables, meaning you have the minimum number of items required to craft all craftable items.
