Basic Minecraft skills

Step 2: Crafting/Smithing

Crafting is not exactly like the other parts of minecraft.  You cannot exactly make up a new tool.  But, even though crafting is crafting,  it must be learned.

Once you have punched the wood, and made a workbench,  It is time for you to make a few tools.  I will only be showing you how to make the basic and needed tools and items for now.  These are:
Pickaxes
Shovels
Spades
Axes
Minecart
Minecart tracks
Boat
Flint and steel
Torches
Glass
Ingots (Iron, Gold)
Etc.

Once you have a basic understanding of where the ingredients go for each item, all the other items are quite easy to remember.
