How to craft Brick Stairs in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make Brick Stairs

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make brick stairs, place 6 blocks of bricks in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making brick stairs, it is important that the bricks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 brick in the first box. In the second row, there should be 1 brick in the first box and 1 brick in the second box. In the third row, there should be 3 bricks. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for brick stairs.
