Four bricks in a plus

Smelt clay balls in a furnace for bricks. Four bricks cover this craft. The same brick also makes a flower pot and, four in a square, a bricks block. Pottery sherds from trail ruins can sit in those four squares instead of bricks if you want a pattern on the sides.

Top, sides, bottom

Open the Crafting Table. Top-middle: a brick. Middle-left and middle-right: a brick each. Bottom-middle: a brick. Leave the center and the four corners empty. One decorated pot appears on the right; take it. This plus needs the 3×3 table.

A jar that holds a stack

Place it. Use an item on the pot and the pot holds that stack. Break it and the bricks, or the sherds you used, drop again. A pickaxe is not required; your hand is enough.
