How to play Minecraftle

01

Build a recipe

Choose ingredients from the inventory and arrange them in the crafting grid.

02

Read the colours

Green marks a correct ingredient in the correct slot. Orange means it belongs in another slot; grey means it is not in the recipe.

03

Refine the arrangement

Keep confirmed positions and change the others. Solve within ten guesses or start a Random puzzle for more practice.
