How to Craft a Bowl in Minecraft
To craft a bowl in Minecraft you need three wooden planks. On the Crafting Table put a plank on the left and right of the middle row and one plank in the bottom-middle, under the hole — a V — and four bowls come out. Below are the items, the recipe, and where those planks come from.

How to craft these materials
Wooden Planks
Oak LogWooden Planks ×4Shapeless: the slots can sit anywhere on the grid.
Three planks from a log
Punch or axe a tree. One log in the inventory 2×2 becomes four planks; take three. Oak, birch, spruce and the rest all work. Open a Crafting Table for the V — the leftover plank stays in the inventory.
A V on the table
Open the Crafting Table. On the middle row put a plank on the left and a plank on the right, with the center empty. Drop the third plank in the bottom-middle square, under that hole. Four bowls appear on the right; take them. This V needs the 3×3 table.
A stew that gives the bowl back
Use an empty bowl on a red mooshroom and mushroom stew fills it. Eat the stew and the empty bowl returns to your hotbar. A fishing rod sometimes pulls one as junk. Stack them to sixty-four.
