There are three(actually four, but last being the result one) squares/slots given in a loom for input, each with a different use. Using a loom, we can put stripes, or arrow, and more designs like that with the color of our choice on our shields that protect us, to make them look even better while doing their job, and we can do so with banners and hang them on the walls of our huge forts and mansions, or small huts, what can we not make in Minecraft. Using a loom, we can print colorful patterns on our 2×1 blocked items, like a banner or the shield. So if we are wondering, what does a loom do in Minecraft, here is what it exactly does. Therefore, we are simply going to open our inventory and use the small 2×2 default crafting section provided. To make a loom in Minecraft, we will not need a crafting table today. This will be how we obtain our wood planks, once ready with them, let us move on to the final step of our procedure of making looms in Minecraft. Now once we have taken down some trees, we will find wood logs in our inventory, to convert them into wood planks for our use, simply place them in any one square of the crafting section in our inventory, that is it. So to start, we know that wood planks can be obtained from wood logs, which are very easily found by simply breaking trees in Minecraft.Īs it is always told in our Minecraft guides, any kind of tree can be broken to get wood logs for converting into planks, it does not need to necessarily be a birch tree, or spruce tree, or oak tree, or jungle tree, etc. Wood planks as we have always been using till now, are very common in Minecraft, as they are used and required a lot since the beginning of our initial spawn in a new world. Now that we have killed some spiders and obtained our strings, let us now make some wood planks However, It is always advised to be wearing full protective armor and have shields as well as your way out planned before you start your venture into new caves since the danger of getting attacked from any direction by a skeleton or getting randomly blown by a creeper is very high. So go ahead and start digging, if you hear any groans or hisses around you, while breaking blocks, carefully start making your way around, you could find caves. Spiders can also be found in caves and mineshafts, all underground areas where there is no light reaching out since that is their sign of spawning. Now that is one way of finding spiders to slay. Therefore, to get those spiders, we must sacrifice our few good night’s sleeps to go out and slay them, hence obtaining those strings. Some hostile mobs like zombies, skeletons and spiders spawn without the presence of light, that is during the night, or during rain and thunderstorms. So how do we get strings? Very easy, find spiders, kill them! Now spiders in over world can be easily found in the night time, since that’s when their party starts. Yes, spiders are the hostile mobs that drop strings in Minecraft when slayed, among other stuff like spider eye.

What are we trying to say? Here, the common and absolute source of finding strings in Minecraft is spiders. Talking about our first ingredient, strings are not usually easy to find, in the daytime. That being said, let us now start with our Minecrafting loom making recipe. It should be noted that there is no enmity with a crafting table, we can always and anytime bring a crafting table to use and it would work perfectly fine, but since we do not need it, our work can be done even without it, that is why we will prefer not bringing it in this guide.

So, it can be visually understandable that all the crafting we need to do today, can be done using the crafting section of our inventory only. Well the reason is, crafting table is a 3×3 crafting platform, and for making a loom, we need only a 2×2 platform for crafting, not more than that. Now unlike our most usual recipes, this one needs no use of a crafting table. Our second ingredient required for the loom recipe in Minecraft is the wood planks. Strings are our first ingredient required for Minecraft’s loom crafting recipe.
