3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make a Cauldron

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a cauldron, place 7 iron ingots in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a cauldron, it is important that the iron ingots are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the second row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 iron ingots. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a cauldron.
