How to Craft a Flower Pot in Minecraft

Before you can make a Flower Pot, you need a Crafting Table, a Furnace, and the necessary materials.

Make a Crafting Table. Add Planks of the same type of wood to each box of the 2X2 crafting grid. Any type of wood will do (Oak Wood, Jungle Wood, etc.).
Place the Crafting Table on the ground and open it to access the 3X3 crafting grid. How you do this depends on your platform:
- PC: Right-click
- Mobile: Single-tap
- Xbox: Press LT
- PlayStation: Press L2
- Nintendo: Press ZL
Craft a Furnace. Put 8 Cobblestones or Blackstones in the outer boxes of the 3X3 crafting grid (leave the center box empty).
Place the Furnace on the ground and interact with it to open the smelting menu.
Put a fuel source (e.g. Coal or Wood) in the bottom box on the left side of the Furnace menu.
Put Clay in the top box on the left side of the Furnace menu.
Wait for the progress bar to fill, then add the Brick to your inventory. Repeat until you have 3 Bricks.
Craft your Flower Pot. Go back to your Crafting Table and add a Brick in the first and third boxes in the first row. In the second row, add a Brick in the middle box.
