A crafting table is a utility block that gives access to all crafting recipes, including many not available from the inventory's crafting grid.

Crafting tables can be mined by hand or with any tool, but axes are the quickest.

Crafting tables naturally generate in the following structures:

• Swamp huts
• Igloos
• Trail ruins
• Tents outside pillager outposts
• Trial chambers (a hidden chamber inside of the "Intersection 2" room)
• Some small village houses
  • Only in savanna, desert, taiga, and plains‌^{[BE only]} villages.
• Abandoned camps​^{[upcoming: Third Drop 2026]}

Regardless of the player's position during placement, the different textures of the block are always facing in the same position (the textures with the saws are facing west and north, while the one with the crafting grid is facing up).

Pressing use on a crafting table opens the 3×3 crafting grid that allows the player to craft many more items than are available with the crafting grid in the inventory, which is only 2×2.

The recipe book is available to the left of the crafting grid (collapsed by default in Java Edition, expanded by default in Bedrock Edition), which stores crafting recipes for reference and one-click crafting.

Crafting tables can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per crafting table.

A crafting table can be used to repair damaged tools, weapons, and armor. When two damaged items of the same material are combined side-by-side in the crafting grid, they produce a new item with the sum of the durabilities plus a 5% bonus, with a maximum total of 100% durability for that item. Using this method does not require any experience, but removes any enchantments (like a grindstone) on either or both items except curse enchantments. The only way to retain enchantments is to repair damaged items on an anvil.

Issues relating to "Crafting Table" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

• From version 1.6.1 through version 1.19.4, the application icon for Java Edition was a crafting table. As of version 1.20, the icon for Java Edition is now a grass block (for releases), or a dirt block (for snapshots).
• The original inventory screen before January 29, 2010 was the crafting table interface. There were no armor slots, no off-hand slot, no recipe book, nor viewport of the player's skin.
• The texture of the crafting table visually features a hammer, saw, and pliers. None of these tools are currently implemented in the game.

• In level 21 of I'm Not a Robot, a crafting table's grid makes an appearance.
• As part of the Lego Icons line, a diorama set set inside of a crafting table was made. The set is notable for featuring several of the first minimobs in several years, specifically Steve, a cow, a skeleton, a witch, a creeper, a villager, a pig, and Alex.^[1][2]
• A crafting table appears as part of Steve's neutral special in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
