How to Craft Thin and Full Pillars

Crafting Thin Pillars

To craft thin pillars, open a crafting table and assemble your materials. Place three identical blocks in a vertical line down the middle of the crafting grid, with a clay ball placed in the middle slot. This shaped recipe yields thin rounded pillar blocks.

You can craft these pillars using a wide variety of base materials. Common construction blocks like standard stone, cobblestone, granite, diorite, andesite, and sandstone can all be used, as well as wood variants, bone, iron, and gold blocks.

Making and Reverting Full Pillars

If your architecture requires a thicker support column, you can craft full-block pillars directly from your thin pillars:

1. Open your crafting inventory or a crafting table.

2. Place two thin pillars anywhere into the crafting grid. This is a shapeless recipe that combines them into a full pillar.

Full pillars can also be converted back if you change your mind. Simply place a full pillar back into the crafting grid by itself to retrieve the two thin pillars, allowing you to switch between widths as needed without wasting building materials.
