Required Materials to make an Observer

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft an observer:

redstone dust 2 Redstone Dust nether quartz 1 Nether Quartz cobblestones 6 Cobblestones

How to craft an Observer 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:

3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make an Observer

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make an observer, place 6 cobblestones, 2 redstone dust and 1 nether quartz in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making an observer, it is important that the items are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 cobblestones. In the second row, there should be 1 redstone dust in the first box, 1 redstone dust in the second box and 1 nether quartz in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 cobblestones. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for an observer.
