How to craft a Slime Block in Survival Mode
1. Open the Crafting Menu
First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make a Slime Block
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a slime block, place 9 slimeballs in the 3×3 crafting grid.
When making a slime block, it is important that the slimeballs are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 3 slimeballs in the first row, 3 slimeballs in the second row, and 3 slimeballs in the third row. This should fill all of the boxes in the crafting grid. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a slime block.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the slime block will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Slime Block to Inventory
Once you have crafted a slime block, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made a slime block in Minecraft!
