3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make an Iron Chain

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make an Iron Chain, place 1 iron ingot and 2 iron nuggets in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making an Iron Chain, it is important that the iron ingot and iron nuggets are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be iron nugget in the middle box. In the second row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the middle box. In the third row, there should be 1 iron nugget in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for an Iron Chain.
