How to Craft a Primitive Scarecrow

Gather the Base Materials

Start by collecting the vanilla ingredients needed for the Primitive Scarecrow. You will need hay bales, sticks, and a carved pumpkin. These are the foundation items for the scarecrow body and head.

Craft the Primitive Scarecrow

The Primitive Scarecrow is made with a shaped crafting recipe. Place the ingredients in the crafting grid in the pattern the recipe requires — the carved pumpkin sits at the top as the head, with hay bales forming the body below and sticks acting as the arms or support frame. Once the grid is filled correctly, take the Primitive Scarecrow from the output slot.

Place It

Hold the Primitive Scarecrow and right-click on a solid block to place it. It occupies a block space like other scarecrow variants. The Primitive Scarecrow is the plain, undyed version — use it as-is, or treat it as the template you recolor into any of the fifteen colored variants.

Why Start Here

Every colored scarecrow in the mod is derived from the same crafting logic, so learning the Primitive Scarecrow recipe first means you already understand the shape and materials for the rest. Keep a stack of hay bales and sticks on hand so you can mass-produce scarecrows for a full field layout without running back to your storage.
