4 Redstone Dust 1 Glowstone

How to craft a Redstone Lamp 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 Redstone Lamp

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a redstone lamp, place 1 glowstone and 4 redstone dust in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a redstone lamp, it is important that the glowstone and redstone dust are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 redstone dust in the middle box. In the second row, there should be 1 redstone dust in the first box, 1 glowstone in the second box, and 1 redstone dust in the third box. In the third row, there should be 1 redstone dust in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a redstone lamp.

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

3. Move the Redstone Lamp to Inventory

Once you have crafted a redstone lamp, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
