THE ULTIMATE MINECRAFT GUIDE
Crafting is a major method by which blocks, tools, and other resources are created in Minecraft. It is a function only available in Indev, Infdev and Alpha modes.
A 2x2 crafting grid. This is already in your inventory.
A 3x3 crafting grid. This requires a crafting table.
In order to craft something, the player must move items from their inventory into the crafting grid, then arrange them into the correct pattern for the item they wish to create. While some recipes require a degree of trial and error to discover, most can be found through common sense.
The player has access to a 2x2 crafting grid - located in the inventory screen - at all times. Simple things can be crafted there, like wood planks, sticks and workbenches. To craft with a 3x3 grid, the player must first place a workbench block into the game world, then right click on it.
In Alpha and listed below, there are 93 recipes. Four can not be used except through hacking (chainmail armor). The ability to use any order of mushrooms to create mushroom stew is considered two recipes. Three recipes merely allow the player to craft diamond, steel, and gold blocks back into their respective bars again. And many recipes are similar in that they only differ in what material can be used, such as for armor.
When crafting items with limited uses (tools, armor, and weapons), each improvement in building material roughly doubles the number of times the item may be used prior to breaking as well as increasing its speed or power. Once an item breaks, it disappears from the inventory.
* Wood: 33 uses, n = 0
* Gold: 33 uses, n = 0
* Stone: 65 uses, n = 1
* Iron: 129 uses, n = 2
* Diamond: 1025 uses, n = 5
The formula for the number of uses is 2^(5+n)+1. "n" is the durability of the material being used, and the values for each are on the above list. Incrementing n by 1 nearly doubles the number of uses.
Regardless of what item is being used, a use counts as either the complete deletion of a block or a single strike at an enemy, but an incomplete attempt to delete a block (stopping in the middle) does not qualify as a use. If a tool is used inappropriately, such as using a pickaxe to attack mobs, each use will have the equivalent of 2 proper uses.

Recipes
--------------------
[-'-] 1.1 Basic [-'-]
- Workbench
Allows for use of the 3×3 crafting grid.
- Furnace
Allows for the smelting of ores and cooking of food.
- Planks
Used as a building material and can be crafted into many things.
- Sticks
Used for torches, arrows, signs, ladders, and as handles for tools.
- Torches
Used to generate light. Torches also melt snow and ice.
- Chest
Stores stacks of items inside. Two chests make a large chest when you put one next to another.
1.2 Blocks
- Ore Blocks
Allows bars to be crafted into placeable blocks. Full blocks can also be crafted into 9 bars again.
- Cloth Block
Used as a building material. Cloth can also be obtained from Sheep.
- TNT Block
Used to cause explosions. Gunpowder can be obtained from Creepers or from chests in Dungeons.
- Steps
Used for half block steps. Two half blocks on top of each other create a full-sized block.
A. Gather some sand and coal, put the sand in the top slot of a furnace and the coal in the bottom slot. The furnace will automatically begin to make glass.
Q. I'm new to survival, how can I survive my first few nights?
Q. I found some underground and there was a chest and a box with a burning monster in it?
A. It is a dungeon, loot the chests for items. The burning thing is a monster spawner but it will only spawn monsters if you are not playing on peaceful. You cannot pick up the spawner, you can only break it.
Q. I found some gray blocks in some sand and they gave me these round balls when I mined them?
A. That is clay and you can either combine the four balls back into a clay block or you can bake them in a furnace to make bricks which can then be combined into brick blocks.
Q. I found something that looks like bamboo?
A. It's a reed and you can use it to make paper. Paper can be used to make books, and books can be used to make bookshelves. Reeds can be placed on dirt adjacent to water and they grow to be up to three blocks in height. With enough time and patience a single reed block can become an unlimited supply.
Q. I found a monster in peaceful?
A. The smallest slimes (little green blocks that hop) are about as dangerous as sheep. Perhaps less so as even a small fall will kill them. As such, they can spawn in peaceful.
Q. I can't break any blocks?
A. Hold down the button. Unlike creative, breaking blocks in alpha takes time. (The amount of time depends on what tool you are using.)
Q. My trees won't grow?
A. Trees must be planted in dirt (a single block will do) and they need a 5x5x5* space that contains nothing but leaves or air in which to grow. (The fact that leaves do not count means that trees planted with only two spaces between them will grow.) They also need light (putting a single torch directly next to the sapling will do it for underground farming). Last but not least, they need time. Sometimes quite a bit of it, the growing time is a bit random. Contrary to real world expectations trees do NOT need water.
*I am not entirely sure on the vertical space requirement here.
Q. I found a :opblock:?
A. This is the bottom of the world. Careful, there ARE holes in it and you CAN fall through to your death. This is a feature not a bug.
Q. I fell through the world/floor/ground and died?
A. Never dig straight down. Ever. Also, read the previous question and it's answer.
Q. What can I use slime balls, milk, or eggs for?
A. Nothing at the moment.
Q. How do I make a torch?
A. Take one piece of coal ( which comes from mining NOT which comes from mining ) and put it over a stick ( ) in the crafting area on the inventory screen (i) or the crafting screen opened by right clicking a workbench. Sticks can be made by putting two wood planks over each other. Wood planks are gotten from logs. Logs are obtained by punching down trees with your fist. (Or you can use an axe.)
Q. How do I get a snowy map?
A. The odds for getting a snow covered map seem to be one in five, so just keep creating new worlds till you get lucky.
Q. How do I get infinite water?
A. Water that is only one unit deep will refill if two or more spring blocks (water with no current) are near each other. The simplest way to get an infinite pool of water is to place to water springs like such:
(top down view) [] []
Q. How do I get infinite lava?
A. You can't without cheating. Lava does not create new spring blocks like water does.
Q. Why won't the water refill?
A. If water is more than one unit deep, it will not make new water spring blocks to replace ones that are removed from the surface. To fill in a hole like this you have to place solid blocks under the water till the top layer is only one unit deep. Then when the surface is calm with no currents you can remove the solid blocks from under it.
Q. I thought sand and gravel fell down, why do I have a roof of it?
A. When the game generates the cave system it doesn't seem to check for falling sand or gravel near the sea level. (As near as I have been able to figure out anyway as I have seen gravel fall down from overhangs and the fallen piles deep within caves and yet still seen sand covered caves next to the shore.) If you add or remove a block next to the suspended sand or gravel it will trigger it to fall.
Q. Why didn't I get anything from breaking a block?
A. Some blocks require specific qualities of picks to successfully mine. Stone and Coal ore can be mined with a wood pick or better. Iron ore requires a stone pick or better. Redstone, Gold ore, and Diamond ore all require an Iron pick or better. Obsidian can only be mined with a diamond pick. As a note, gold picks are treated the same as wooden ones for the purposes of determining what you can mine with them. (The only time gold is actually good is if you make a hoe from it.)

FAQ.
Q. How do I make glass?
A. Gather some sand and coal, put the sand in the top slot of a furnace and the coal in the bottom slot. The furnace will automatically begin to make glass.
Q. I'm new to survival, how can I survive my first few nights?
A. I would suggest going to these threads: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=21089, viewtopic.php?f=35&t=19065.
They should help you survive a few nights on your own.
Q. I don't know what to put in my base!
A. Use this thread. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=14998
You should be able to somehow weave this into your existing base.
Q. Is there any way for me to find out the damage for falling at certain heights?
A. Yes, you can use Aexis Rai's fall damage research thread. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16072&
Q. I found some
A. It is a dungeon, loot the chests for items. The burning thing is a monster spawner but it will only spawn monsters if you are not playing on peaceful. You cannot pick up the spawner, you can only break it.
Q. I found some gray blocks in some sand and they gave me these round balls when I mined them?
A. That is clay and you can either combine the four balls back into a clay block or you can bake them in a furnace to make bricks which can then be combined into brick blocks.
