In this guide, we’ll show you how to create a stone pickaxe using:

  1. A crafting table.
  2. Two sticks.
  3. Three cobblestones.

Step 1 – Gather logs

Collect a few logs by punching out a tree (any kind of tree will do).

Getting logs.

Step 2 – Create planks

Using a crafting table, place the logs in any single cell of the grid to create planks in the output box.

Crafting planks.

Step 3 – Create sticks

Now, place two planks in the center column of the crafting grid, one in each of the bottom and middle cells of your crafting table to create sticks.

(You can look at your numpad, if you have one, and the placement on the crafting grid would correspond to the “2” and “5” keys, which we can refer to as cell 2 and cell 5.)

Creating sticks.

Step 4 – Mine some stone

0:25 – Using a pickaxe, mine three pieces of cobblestone. You can find stone almost anywhere, but they are most common in caves or mines.

Mining stone.

Step 5 – Place the sticks

0:32 – Then place two sticks in the center column of the crafting grid, one in each of the bottom and middle cells of your crafting table.

(These would be cells 2 and 5.)

Place the sticks.

Step 6 – Place the cobblestones

0:39 – Now, place a cobblestone in the top-left, top-middle, and top-right cells of the crafting grid.

(These would be cells 7, 8, and 9.)

Place the cobblestones.

Step 7 (Optional) – Bid your wooden pickaxe farewell

Alas, parting is such sweet sorrow.

It was a good run, but the partnership has run its course.

Farewell, wooden pickaxe. You will be remembered fondly.

Stone pickaxe!

Now, where’s that iron ore?
