In this guide, we show you how to create a wooden sword using any type of log.
Step 1 – Get a log
Collect one log by chopping any tree with your hands.

Step 2 – Create planks
Using a crafting table, place the log in any cell to create 4 planks in the output box.

Step 3 – Create a stick
Place a plank in cells 2 and 5 in the 9×9 grid to create a stick in the output box.
(Just look at your keyboard’s numpad which is also a 9×9 grid with the same digits).

Step 4 – Create a wooden sword
Place the stick in cell 2 and one plank in cells 5 and 8.
This creates a wooden sword in the output box.

Congratulations!
You successfully created your shiny new wooden sword.
Go try fighting something, but if you die too often, go craft a better sword 🙂
