In Minecraft's survival mode, you can't do anything without the most useful item of all: crafting tables. They allow you to make just about anything you can't make in your inventory, and without them, nothing can be done in the Minecraft world.

Making tables has been an important project since the introduction of Survival mode, and they are without a doubt the most useful item in Minecraft. You should have at least one crafting desk in your shelter to make sure you can craft any item you want.
