- 3× any stone
This unlocks basic and advanced crafting options in the Workbench.

Step 3: Craft a Builder’s Workbench
Interact with the Workbench and craft the Builder’s Workbench using:
- 6× any tree trunk
- 3× any stone
This station is required to craft windows and other building-focused blocks.

How to use windows in your builds
Step 7: Place windows in walls
Select the window from your hotbar and place it like any other block. Windows fit neatly into walls and replace solid blocks.

Windows allow light to pass through and give you visibility outside your structure while keeping the wall intact.
Window crafting tips to keep in mind
- You can use logs from any biome or tree type
