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

In Minecraft, a clock is one of the many tools that you can make.

Let’s explore how to make a clock.

Where to find a Clock in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

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

Platform Version(s) Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8 – 1.19
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3 – 1.20
  • 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 Clock

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

4 Gold Ingots
1 Redstone Dust

How to craft a Clock in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make a Clock

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a clock, place 4 gold ingots and 1 redstone dust in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a clock, it is important that the gold ingots and redstone dust are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 gold ingot in the middle box. In the second row, there should be 1 gold ingot in the first box, 1 redstone dust in the second box, and 1 gold ingot in the third box. In the third row, there should be 1 gold ingot in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a clock.

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

3. Move the Clock to Inventory

Once you have crafted clocks, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a clock in Minecraft!

In Minecraft, a clock has the following Name, ID and DataValue:
