Required Materials to make Purpur Stairs
In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft purpur stairs:
How to craft Purpur 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:
2. Add Items to make Purpur Stairs
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make purpur stairs, place 6 purpur blocks in the 3x3 crafting grid.
When making purpur stairs, it is important that the purpur blocks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 purpur block in the first box. In the second row, there should be 1 purpur block in the first box and 1 purpur block in the second box. In the third row, there should be 3 purpur blocks. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for purpur stairs.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the 4 purpur stairs will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Purpur Stairs to Inventory
Once you have crafted purpur stairs, you need to move the new items to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made purpur stairs in Minecraft!
