Open Your Crafting Table

What should you do next once the materials are ready in your inventory? Since you have to craft the stone pickaxe, you need to open the crafting table.

It is crucial to open your crafting table anytime you have to craft anything. Once the crafting table is opened, you will be presented with a 3×3 crafting grid where you can arrange your items.

Add Items

Now, you can arrange the items needed for crafting the stone pickaxe in the crafting area. The crafting table will provide you nine empty boxes where you can add your items.

The specific items must be placed properly in the grid to craft the stone pickaxe. You have to do it by following a specific pattern. If you place the items in a different pattern, you will craft a different item even from the very same materials.

When crafting the stone pickaxe, you have two pattern options to follow. You can feel free to choose the pattern for crafting a stone pickaxe recipe.

Pattern 1

Once again, you have to follow the pattern to make sure that you follow the right method on how to make a stone pickaxe in minecraft survival mode.

The very first pattern should be applied when you want to create a stone pickaxe using cobblestone. You have two sticks and three cobblestones.

Now, your three cobblestones must be added to the first row of the crafting grid. It means that the cobblestone will fill all boxes in the first row.

Two sticks can be added in the center of the second and third row. If you can create the right pattern with your materials, you will find the stone pickaxe item in the box right to the next of the crafting table.

Pattern 2

The second pattern can be applied when you have Blackstones instead of cobblestone in your inventory. Of course, you will need three Blackstones along with two sticks for making this crafting work.

Just like when you use the cobblestone, you need to place your Blackstones in each box of the first row of the crafting grid. One stick can be added in the middle grid of the second row and another stick can be placed in the middle grid of the third row of the crafting grid.

If you can find the stone pickaxe item in the box right next to your crafting table, it means that you add the items correctly.
