2. Add Items to make a Redstone Lamp

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

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

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