2. Add Items to make a Block of Bricks

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a block of bricks, place 4 bricks in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a block of bricks, 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 and 1 brick in the second box. In the second row, there should be 1 brick in the first box and 1 brick in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a block of bricks.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the block of bricks will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Block of Bricks to Inventory

Once you have crafted a block of bricks, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a block of bricks in Minecraft!
