Last updated
Ever wondered how to get started with tools in Minecraft? Specifically, how do you make a wooden pickaxe? Let’s dig into that!
So, you’ve just started your Minecraft adventure and you’re ready to dive into building and exploring. One of the first things you’ll need is a wooden pickaxe. But how do you make one?
Steps to Craft a Wooden Pickaxe
Creating a wooden pickaxe is simple. First, you need to collect wood from trees. Just walk up to any tree and start punching it (left-click) to gather wood blocks. You’ll need at least three pieces of wood.
Next, open your crafting table. If you don’t have one, create it by converting your wood blocks into wooden planks in your inventory crafting space. Four wooden planks create one crafting table. Place your crafting table down and open it to see a 3×3 crafting grid.
Assembling Your Wooden Pickaxe
In the crafting grid, convert some of your wooden planks into sticks. Do this by placing one wooden plank above another in any column. You’ll need two sticks. Then, place the two sticks in the middle column of the grid, one in the center and one directly below it. Finally, place three wooden planks across the top row. This arrangement crafts a wooden pickaxe!
Voila! You now have your very own wooden pickaxe. With this tool, you can start mining stone and coal, essential resources for your next adventures in Minecraft.
