3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make a Respawn Anchor

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a respawn anchor, place 3 glowstone and 6 crying obsidian in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a respawn anchor, it is important that the glowstone and crying obsidian are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 crying obsidian. In the second row, there should be 3 glowstone. In the third row, there should be 3 crying obsidian. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a respawn anchor.
