Guides › Recipes
Crafting recipes tell the crafting table what to make from which ingredients. A Bedrock add-on can add recipes for its own items, or new recipes for Minecraft's own items.
Addon's Studio gives you two ways to make them. Turn on Crafting inside an item, block or mob editor, or add a standalone Crafting Recipe for any result item, including vanilla ones.

Step by step
Add a Crafting Recipe
In your project, tap Add item and choose Crafting Recipe.
Choose the result
Pick the result item. It can be a vanilla item or one from your project. Set how many it makes.
Fill the grid
Tap the squares of the 3×3 grid to choose ingredients from Minecraft's items or your own.
Shaped or any order
Leave it shaped so the pattern matters, or turn on Any order for a shapeless recipe.
Export and craft
Tap Export, turn on the packs in a world and open a crafting table. Your recipe works like any other.
Tips
- For your own items, it's quicker to turn on Crafting inside the item's editor.
- Shaped recipes suit tools and armour, so the pattern looks like the item.
- Any order suits simple mixes, like dyes or food.
- A mob's editor can have a recipe too. It crafts the mob's spawn egg.
- Tap View JSON to see the recipe file the app makes.
Questions
Can I make recipes for vanilla items?
Yes. A Crafting Recipe can make any item, including Minecraft's own, from any ingredients you choose.
What is a shapeless recipe?
A recipe where the ingredients can go anywhere in the grid. Turn on Any order to make one.
Do I need to write JSON?
No. You tap the grid and pick items, and Addon's Studio writes the recipe file for you.
