First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make a Blackstone Wall
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a blackstone wall, place 6 blackstone in the 3x3 crafting grid.
When making a blackstone wall, it is important that the blackstone are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 3 blackstone in the first row and 3 blackstone in the second row. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a blackstone wall.
