## What You Will Need
To create a Lucky Block, you'll need the following materials:
1. **1 Dropper**
2. **1 Gold Block**
3. **1 Command Block** (optional, for advanced configurations)
4. **Various Items** (to fill the Dropper)
Gather these items to begin your crafting adventure.
## Step 1: Create the Dropper
To make a Dropper:
1. **Open your Crafting Table.**
2. **Arrange the Ingredients:**
- 1 Stone in each corner (total of 4)
- 1 Redstone in the center
- 1 Additional Stone in the bottom row (in the middle)
This pattern will yield one Dropper.
## Step 2: Obtain a Gold Block
Next, you will need a Gold Block. To craft a Gold Block:
1. **Gather Gold Ingots:**
- Mine for Gold Ore using an Iron or better pickaxe.
- Smelt the Gold Ore in a furnace to obtain Gold Ingots.
2. **Craft the Gold Block:**
- Open your Crafting Table.
- Arrange 9 Gold Ingots in all available slots to create a single Gold Block.
## Step 3: Setting Up Your Lucky Block
Now that you have your Dropper and Gold Block, let’s assemble your Lucky Block.
1. **Place the Gold Block:**
Set the Gold Block down in your world.
2. **Place the Dropper on Top:**
Ensure the Dropper is positioned directly above the Gold Block. This alignment is crucial for the block to function correctly.
## Step 4: Fill the Dropper with Random Items
To make your Lucky Block truly unpredictable, fill the Dropper with various items:
1. **Choose Your Items:**
- Common items (e.g., apples, dirt)
- Rare items (e.g., diamonds, enchanted gear)
- Fun items (e.g., TNT, mobs)
2. **Add Items to the Dropper:**
- Right-click on the Dropper to open its interface.
- Place the selected items into the slots.
## Step 5: (Optional) Use a Command Block for Customization
For those looking to customize their Lucky Block further, you can use a Command Block:
1. **Obtain a Command Block:**
This item is not available in the regular crafting menu, so you’ll need to use a command (e.g., `/give @p command_block`).
2. **Input Commands:**
Customize the actions that occur when the Lucky Block is broken.
## Step 6: Break the Lucky Block
Once your Lucky Block is ready, it’s time for the fun part!
1. **Equip a Pickaxe.**
2. **Break the Lucky Block.**
Watch as it either rewards you or challenges you, adding a new twist to your game.
