Required Materials to make a Brick

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a brick:

1 Clay Ball

How to craft a Brick in Survival Mode

1. Open the Furnace Menu

First, open your furnace so that you have the Furnace menu that looks like this:

2. Add Fuel to the Furnace

Next, you need to add fuel to the bottom fuel box in the furnace.

In this tutorial, we are going to use coal as our fuel.

TIP: Read our tutorial called How to Add Fuel to a Furnace if you aren't sure what items can be used as fuel, the length of time each fuel will burn, or how many items each fuel can smelt/cook.

3. Add Items to make a Brick

Next, place the clay in the top box of the furnace. You should see the flames cooking the clay.

Once the clay is cooked/smelted in the furnace, the brick will appear in the box to the right.

4. Move the Brick to Inventory

Now that you have made a brick in your furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a brick in Minecraft!
