}How to Create Custom Recipes in Minecraft
Shaped Recipes
Shaped recipes require items to be placed in a specific pattern on the crafting grid. The position of each item matters. Use this Minecraft recipe generator to create shaped recipes with our visual 3x3 grid editor.
Shapeless Recipes
Shapeless recipes don't care about the position of ingredients. As long as all required items are in the crafting grid, the recipe will work. Perfect for simple crafting recipes.

- Generate your recipe JSON using this tool
- Create a datapack folder structure
- Place the JSON in
