2. Add Items to make a Flower Pot

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

When making a flower pot, 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 and 1 brick in the third box. In the second row, there should be 1 brick in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a flower pot.
