2. Add Items to make a Spruce Sign

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a spruce sign, place 6 spruce planks and 1 stick in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a spruce sign, it is important that the spruce planks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 spruce planks. In the second row, there should be 3 spruce planks. In the third row, there should be 1 stick in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a spruce sign.
