This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft an observer with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, an observer is another important item in your inventory. It is used to detect changes in neighboring blocks.

Let’s explore how to make an observer.

Where to find an Observer in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find an observer in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform	Version(s)	Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.11 – 1.19	Redstone
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.19.3 – 1.19.4	Redstone Blocks

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 an Observer

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

2 Redstone Dust
1 Nether Quartz
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 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make an Observer

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

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

3. Move the Observer to Inventory

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

Congratulations, you have made an observer in Minecraft!
