How to make a Barrel in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a barrel with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, the barrel is another important basic item in your inventory. A barrel has 27 slots to store items, similar to a chest. Each item stored in a barrel is removed from your inventory. When you want to use that item, you will need to take it out of the barrel and place it back into your inventory.
