First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make a Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a heavy weighted pressure plate, place 2 iron ingots in the 3x3 crafting grid.
When making a heavy weighted pressure plate, it is important that the iron ingots are placed in the exact pattern as the image below.
