How to craft a Shield in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make a Shield

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a shield, place 1 iron ingot and 6 wood planks in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When crafting with wood planks, you can use any kind of wood planks, such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, bamboo, crimson, warped or cherry planks. In our example, we are using oak planks.

When making a shield, it is important that the iron ingot and wood planks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 wood planks in the first box, 1 iron ingot in the second box and 1 wood planks in the third box. In the second row, there should be 3 wood planks. In the third row, there should be 1 wood planks in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a shield.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the shield will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Shield to Inventory

Once you have crafted a shield, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
