minecraft crossbow recipe
The crossbow grid mixes four ingredients, and one of them has to be crafted first. The tool below opens on the crossbow and adds everything back to raw iron, string and wood.
Sticks and iron on top, string on each side of the hook in the middle and one lone stick at the bottom center. The two bottom corners stay empty.
That is 2 raw iron (one for the ingot, one for the hook), 2 string and 1 log. The 2 smelts take 1 coal, and 1 hook and 1 plank are left over.
They take 8 string, 6 raw iron and 3 logs, and the 6 smelts fit in 1 coal. No item comes close to 1 stack. You end up with 2 planks and 2 sticks.
This is the trade for the plain crossbow. The level 5 trade sells the enchanted one for the same 3 emeralds, with only 3 uses.
That is five loot tables in the Java 26.1 data, spread across bastions, pillager outposts and trial chambers.
It adds up what each item needs across all branches and only then rounds the number of crafts up. One log makes 4 planks; if you need 5, that is 2 logs and 3 planks left over. Leftovers show on the Materials tab and are reused by other items on your list before more raw material is requested.
The grid asks for 1 iron ingot, but the tripwire hook takes another, so the real cost is 2 raw iron per crossbow. For 4 crossbows it is 6, because each hook craft makes two.
Yes, 1 per crossbow, in the center of the middle row. It is a crafted item, and it comes out in a pair: the second one is left over.
The fletcher. At level 3 he sells a crossbow for 3 emeralds, with 12 uses. At level 5 there is also an enchanted crossbow, for 3 emeralds and 3 uses.
You need 8 string, 2 per crossbow, with no other string anywhere in the recipe. The other costs for 4 crossbows are 6 raw iron and 3 logs.
