3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make Activator Rails

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make activator rails, place 6 iron ingots, 2 sticks, and 1 redstone torch in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making activator rails, it is important that the iron ingots, sticks, and redstone torch are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In this first row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box, 1 stick in the second box, and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the second row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box, 1 redstone torch in the second box, and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the third row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box, 1 stick in the second box, and 1 iron ingot in the third box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for activator rails.
