First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make Brick Stairs
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make brick stairs, place 6 blocks of bricks in the 3×3 crafting grid.
When making brick stairs, it is important that the bricks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 brick in the first box. In the second row, there should be 1 brick in the first box and 1 brick in the second box. In the third row, there should be 3 bricks. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for brick stairs.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the 4 brick stairs will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Brick Stairs to Inventory
Once you have crafted brick stairs, you need to move the new items to your inventory.
