Item List

Recipes

Crafting Ceramic Shears is a three-step process. First, the parts must be shaped, then fired, and finally assembled.

Crafting: Clay Shears Part

To create the initial parts, place two clay balls diagonally in a crafting grid. Each craft yields two Clay Shears Parts.

Smelting: Ceramic Shears Part

The unfired clay parts must be hardened in a furnace or blast furnace to become usable components.

Assembly: Ceramic Shears

Once you have two Ceramic Shears Parts, they can be crafted into the final tool using a diagonal pattern similar to the vanilla iron shears recipe.
