Last updated
Have you ever wondered how to protect yourself from the creepy crawlies of the night in Minecraft? Crafting a shield is your answer! Let’s dive into how you can create this essential item for your survival adventures.
If you’re asking yourself how to make a shield in Minecraft, you’re in the right place. We’ll break it down into simple steps.
Quick Guide to Crafting a Shield
First things first, you need some materials. Gather 6 wood planks of any kind and 1 iron ingot. These items are quite easy to find in the game. If you’re new, wood planks come from wood logs, and you can get iron ingots by mining iron ore and smelting it in a furnace.
Once you have your materials, open your crafting table. Place the iron ingot in the center slot. Then, fill the top row with wood planks. Place 1 wood plank in the center slot of both the left and right columns. Voila! You’ve crafted a shield.
