Fletching Table
Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Use attribute feedback to eliminate close Minecraft candidates
- This is a worked elimination using the recorded profile of Fletching Table, not a transcript of guesses made in the game. Start with the 300-entry roster.
- Use tool = axe: 300 candidates become 39.
- Use hardness = 2.5: 39 candidates become 9.
- Use full block = Yes: 9 candidates become 6 (Barrel, Cartography Table, Crafting Table, Fletching Table, Loom, Smithing Table).
- Use initial release = 1.14: 6 candidates become 5 (Barrel, Cartography Table, Fletching Table, Loom, Smithing Table).
- These constraints leave Barrel, Cartography Table, Fletching Table, Loom, Smithing Table. The official published answer supplies the final identity; these attributes alone are not unique.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Fletching Table | Recorded answer | tool axe; hardness 2.5; blast resistance 2.5; full block Yes; renewable Yes; luminous No; initial release 1.14 |
| Barrel | Still tied on these attributes | The compared attributes do not separate this candidate; an additional clue is needed. |
| Cartography Table | Still tied on these attributes | The compared attributes do not separate this candidate; an additional clue is needed. |
| Loom | Still tied on these attributes | The compared attributes do not separate this candidate; an additional clue is needed. |
What this does and does not establish
- The comparison uses the saved official roster. Later game balance or catalog changes can change the attributes.

Copper Nugget
Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Use attribute feedback to eliminate close Minecraft candidates
- This is a worked elimination using the recorded profile of Copper Nugget, not a transcript of guesses made in the game. Start with the 200-entry roster.
- Use stackable = 64: 200 candidates become 135.
- Use rarity = common: 135 candidates become 122.
- Use renewable = Yes: 122 candidates become 111.
- Use recipe = crafting_table, furnace: 111 candidates become 12.
- Use loot = none: 12 candidates become 2 (Dried Kelp, Copper Nugget).
- Use inventory categories = ingredients: 2 candidates become 1 (Copper Nugget).
- These constraints isolate Copper Nugget. Use the remaining identity only after the attributes have been checked.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Copper Nugget | Recorded answer | stackable 64; rarity common; renewable Yes; recipe crafting_table, furnace; loot none; inventory categories ingredients; initial release 1.21.9 |
| Resin Brick | Ruled out by these attributes | recipe is furnace, not crafting_table, furnace; initial release is 1.21.4, not 1.21.9 |
| Dye | Ruled out by these attributes | loot is container, trading, not none; initial release is Beta 1.2, not 1.21.9 |
| Dried Kelp | Ruled out by these attributes | inventory categories is food_and_drinks, not ingredients; initial release is 1.13, not 1.21.9 |
What this does and does not establish

Bogged
Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Use attribute feedback to eliminate close Minecraft candidates
- This is a worked elimination using the recorded profile of Bogged, not a transcript of guesses made in the game. Start with the 89-entry roster.
- Use behavior = Hostile: 89 candidates become 33.
- Use health = 16: 33 candidates become 4 (Bogged, Magma Cube, Slime, Parched).
- Use spawn = Biome, Spawner: 4 candidates become 1 (Bogged).
- These constraints isolate Bogged. Use the remaining identity only after the attributes have been checked.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bogged | Recorded answer | behavior Hostile; health 16; spawn Biome, Spawner; classification Undead; height 1.99; initial release 1.21 |
| Parched | Ruled out by these attributes | spawn is Biome, Jockey, not Biome, Spawner; initial release is 1.21.11, not 1.21 |
| Skeleton | Ruled out by these attributes | health is 20, not 16; spawn is Light level, Biome, Spawner, Lightning, Jockey, Structure, not Biome, Spawner; initial release is pre-alpha, not 1.21 |
| Stray | Ruled out by these attributes | health is 20, not 16; spawn is Light level, Biome, Conversion, Spawner, not Biome, Spawner; initial release is 1.10, not 1.21 |

Cobblestone, Quartz, Warped Slab, Diamond, End Stone, Stick, Crimson Stem
Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Find actual recipes from the seven available ingredients
- The seven names in this round are ingredients you may use, not seven finished target items: cobblestone, quartz, warped slab, diamond, end stone, stick, crimson stem. Crafting Bee asks which recipe outputs those ingredients can make.
- Compare each crafting-table recipe’s requirements with that set. Repeated use of an ingredient is allowed; ingredient tags are expanded to their actual allowed items. Smelting and other non-crafting-table recipes are excluded.
- The saved official recipe catalog yields 29 distinct craftable outputs: cobblestone slab, cobblestone stairs, cobblestone wall, composter, crimson hyphae, crimson planks, diamond axe, diamond block, diamond boots, diamond chestplate, diamond helmet, diamond hoe, diamond leggings, diamond pickaxe, diamond shovel, diamond spear, diamond sword, diorite, end stone bricks, furnace, ladder, lever, quartz block, stone axe, stone hoe, stone pickaxe, stone shovel, stone spear, stone sword. This is computed from the game’s recipe data rather than guessed from item names.
- Start with composter: warped slab | empty | warped slab / warped slab | empty | warped slab / warped slab | warped slab | warped slab. Keep the row shape; having the correct material without the right layout is insufficient.
- Then compare cobblestone slab: cobblestone | cobblestone | cobblestone. The near-miss acacia fence fails because an ingredient is absent, not because it looks unfamiliar.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| composter | Craftable from today’s seven ingredients | Place grid rows (slash separates rows; empty is blank): warped slab | empty | warped slab / warped slab | empty | warped slab / warped slab | warped slab | warped slab. Output quantity: 1. |
| cobblestone slab | Craftable from today’s seven ingredients | Place grid rows (slash separates rows; empty is blank): cobblestone | cobblestone | cobblestone. Output quantity: 6. |
| acacia fence | Not craftable from this ingredient set | The matching recipe additionally needs acacia planks. None of those options appears in today’s seven ingredients; visual similarity to an available ingredient does not substitute for the recipe. |
What this does and does not establish
- This recipe comparison uses the captured official catalog. It does not claim a timed playthrough or a score. Outputs are not recursively added as new ingredients; the calculation uses the original seven-item set, as the game’s discovery function does.
