Minecraft Shields

1. 6 wooden planks
2. 1 iron ingot

The first thing that you have to do to craft a shield is to get some wooden planks. It is really easy to get wooden planks. To get wooden planks, all you need to do is punch a tree and get oak wood. You can then turn one piece of oak wood into four wooden planks on your crafting table. Make sure you get 2 pieces of wood so that you can have enough wooden planks. This will craft eight wooden planks so you will have two extra leftovers.

Now that you have your six wooden planks, all you need to do is get an iron ingot. To get an iron ingot, you need a stone pickaxe. To get a stone pickaxe, you are going to need to get a wooden pickaxe. To get a wooden pickaxe, all you need to do is get two sticks and three wooden planks. Take these items to your crafting table and follow the crafting recipe below.

The next pickaxe in line is the stone pickaxe. To make a stone pickaxe, you actually have to use a wooden pickaxe. You only need three pieces of cobblestone and to get that, you have to mine three pieces of stone in a cave. Caves are lined with stone so it shouldn’t be difficult at all to get stone. The stone in a cave will be any of the gray blocks that you see below.

Once you have obtained three cobblestones, and of course two sticks, you can head back to your crafting table. Each pickaxe has the same recipe but you just have to switch the crafting material. In this case, instead of wooden planks, you are using cobblestone blocks. You can use the recipe below to craft a stone pickaxe.

Now that you have your stone pickaxe, you need to go mining. In your cave, you need to find one block of iron ore. Once you have mined your one iron ore, you need to get eight pieces of cobblestone and make a furnace. Then, you need to smelt your iron ore into an iron ingot in the furnace. One iron ore will turn into one iron ingot. Now that you have your iron ingot and your six wooden planks, make your way to your crafting table. You can follow the crafting recipe below to craft your shield.
