2. Add Items to make a Stick
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a stick, you will need to place specific items in the grid. It is important that the items are placed in the exact pattern as our example images. Changing the pattern of boxes that are filled will change the item that is crafted.
There are 2 patterns you can use as a crafting recipe for a stick:
Pattern 1
In the first row, there should be 1 wood planks in the second box. In the second row, there should be 1 wood planks in the second box.
