Shield is a craftable item in Minecraft with 12 different crafting recipes. To craft Shield, you need 6× Cherry Planks and 1× Iron Ingot. This recipe uses the full 3×3 grid, so you'll need a crafting table. Each craft yields 1 Shield.
Ingredients to craft Shield
- 6×Cherry PlanksCrafted

- 1×Iron IngotSmelted from Deepslate Iron Ore, Iron Ore or Raw Iron

Shield, from scratch
Breaking every ingredient down to materials with no recipe of their own, one Shield traces back to roughly:
- 2×Cherry Log

- 1×Iron Ingot

Some steps produce more than one at a time. A log yields four planks and four planks yield four sticks, for example. The counts above are rounded up to whole crafting steps, so you will likely end up with a few spares along the way.
