Now, let’s make a crossbow in Minecraft. First, we will create a stick, so we will put a wooden oak in the 2 X 2 crafting to create planks and then place the planks into a 3 X 3 crafting table to create a stick:


After creating sticks and wooden planks, start mining and find iron from caves. Now place the iron blocks into the furnace for extracting the iron ingot from it.

For tripwire hooks, place an iron ingot, a wooden plank, and a stick in the crafting table to get a tripwire hook (A single wooden plank, stick, and an iron ingot can create two tripwire hooks).

For a crossbow, you will need two strings. So, it is time to kill some spiders in order to obtain strings from them.

After this, place the strings, place iron ingot, sticks, and a tripwire hook into the crafting table like this:

Once the Crossbow is crafted, we can move it to our inventory as a new item.
