This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a brick with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a brick is a basic item in your inventory that is not made with a crafting table but rather with a furnace.

Let’s explore how to add a brick to your inventory.

Where to find a Brick in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find a brick in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform	Version(s)	Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.8 – 1.11	Materials
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.12 – 1.19	Miscellaneous
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.19.3 – 1.19.4	Ingredients

Platform is the platform that applies.

Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).

Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

Required Materials to make a Brick

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a brick:

1 Clay Ball

How to craft a Brick in Survival Mode

1. Open the Furnace Menu

First, open your furnace so that you have the Furnace menu that looks like this:

2. Add Fuel to the Furnace

Next, you need to add fuel to the bottom fuel box in the furnace.

In this tutorial, we are going to use coal as our fuel.

TIP: Read our tutorial called How to Add Fuel to a Furnace if you aren’t sure what items can be used as fuel, the length of time each fuel will burn, or how many items each fuel can smelt/cook.

3. Add Items to make a Brick

Next, place the clay in the top box of the furnace. You should see the flames cooking the clay.

Once the clay is cooked/smelted in the furnace, the brick will appear in the box to the right.

4. Move the Brick to Inventory

Now that you have made a brick in your furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a brick in Minecraft!
