How to craft Shield in Minecraft

#1 Collect 6x Planks

Planks can be found pretty much anywhere in the world. They are generated naturally in most structures like Mineshafts, Villages, Strongholds, Woodland Mansions, Shipwrecks, and more!

But the best way to craft Planks is to use 1x Log/Wood/Stripped Log/Stripped Wood. They yield 4x Planks each.

#2 Collect 1x Iron Ingot

Iron Ingot can be obtained by smelting Iron Ore, Deepslate Iron Ore, or Raw Iron in the Furnace. They will give 1x Iron Ingot.

You can also find Iron Ingot in most structures like Dungeons, Mineshafts, Bastion Remnants, Buried Treasures, End Cities, Temples, Shipwrecks, Villages, and more! They usually contain 1-9x Iron Ingot.

If you have 1x Block of Iron, put it in the crafting grid to get 9x Iron Ingot.

Or if you have 9x Iron Nugget, right-click the Crafting Table and put them all in to craft 1x Iron Ingot.

#3 Finish off crafting a Shield

When you have 6x Planks and 1x Iron Ingot, right-click any Crafting Table and put the Iron Ingot in the top middle slot, then surround it with 5x Planks and put the final Planks at the middle bottom slot to craft 1x Shield.

Another way to get Shield is to trade with the Armorer Village. They have a 40% chance to sell 1x Shield for 5x Emerald.
