Top 10 Minecraft crafting recipes you did not know about

The moment Minecraft players enter a new world, they break wood blocks from a tree and craft a crafting table. This table is extremely essential in the game since all other items need to be crafted using it. There are hundreds of crafting recipes for almost any item and block, which players either need to remember or find from the book menu inside the crafting table GUI.

However, newcomers might not know some of the crafting recipes in Minecraft. Some blocks and items are still alien to many players who are relatively new to the sandbox game, simply because they are not that necessary to have or use to progress forward.

Note: This article is subjective and solely reflects the writer's opinion. Also, it is targeted at newcomers who may not know these recipes. Experienced players may know them already.
