Required Materials to make a Painting

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

8 Sticks 1 White Wool

How to craft a Painting in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make a Painting

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a painting, place 8 sticks and 1 wool in the 3x3 crafting grid.

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

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the painting will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Painting to Inventory

Once you have crafted paintings, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a painting in Minecraft!
