Core rules
- The inventory provides a 2 × 2 grid.
- A crafting table provides the full 3 × 3 grid.
- Shaped recipes preserve layout; shapeless recipes only require the ingredients.
Edition and version notes
The core concept exists in the current game, but exact timings, update order, available recipes, commands and edge cases can differ between Java and Bedrock or change between releases. Use the versioned data pages for identifiers and the Java-vs-Bedrock guides for known edition differences.
