Can I craft a Jigsaw Block?

No. You can't make a Jigsaw Block in a crafting table or furnace. You have to use the /give command to get one.

Do I need mods to use this command?

No. The /give command is built into vanilla Minecraft. You just need to have cheats enabled in your world.

Will the /give command work on Minecraft Bedrock or Pocket Edition?

The /give command works on Bedrock and Pocket Edition too, but the syntax might be slightly different. The example above is specifically for Java Edition.

Where do I enable cheats?

When creating a new world, enable the Allow Cheats option in the game settings before you generate the world. In an existing world, you can open to LAN and enable cheats from there.
