Making a flower pot in Minecraft
Luckily for any flower connoisseur, the pot-making recipe has only one ingredient. While this ingredient isn’t easy to come by, you shouldn’t forget its recipe anytime soon. You can find the flowerpot recipe below:
- On the workbench, place three bricks, two in the middle row on the left and right, and one in the bottom middle row, to create a flower pot.

Since the only ingredient is bricks, if you want to make a flower pot in Minecraft, you have to know where the bricks come from. Bricks can be smelted in a furnace by placing a clay ball in the top box and any fuel source in the bottom box. Clay Balls are obtained by breaking clay blocks, which are mostly found in dense caves and beneath shallow water. Use a shovel or other tool to break the clay chunks into clay balls. However, if you break a clay block with Precision Touch, it will drop the entire block.

Take your clay balls, return to your base, throw them into the furnace, and smelt some bricks. You can then use these bricks to create as many plant pots as you like. Once you have the pots, place them on the ground and you can place a small flower, sapling, mushroom or any other small plant inside. You can do this by simply clicking on the pot with the plant in your hand.
