One of the best strategies on how to make shears in Minecraft is by using crafted items. Crafting an item requires you to have certain items at hand, and these can be obtained by collecting different resources. Also, crafting an item will require you to combine many of the resources that you have gathered, so make sure to combine all the raw materials needed in making a particular item. If you have crafted an item, then you are also able to upgrade it by using enchanted books.
Shears are the most basic items that you can find when playing Minecraft- These items are primarily used for various purposes like shearing sheep, gathering wood, harvesting plants, or even destroying dirt. Besides, crafting shears in Minecraft requires the following raw materials needed:
Now, to start crafting- you will need to collect the following materials: wool, cobblestone, and ferns. Wool comes from sheep, and the ferns are naturally-grown ferns found around the biome. In order to get more ferns, you should harvest more sheep. Keep in mind that there are a lot of different kinds of ferns, and they are only differentiated by their type – for example wet Ferns can only be used on crops, dry ones can only be used on soil, etc. You can also get more information about the ferns in the MCF’s guide.
After you have gathered all the needed resources- the next step on how to make shears in Minecraft is by using an iron table to create a crafting table and put all the things that you have collected into the slots. Put all the ferns, along with the wool and cobblestone, in the “crafted” slot. When you have all of them, put the slots back to where they should be and close the “crafting table” with the “use” button. Wait until the restore power generator finishes working, and then you can now place all the raw materials back in the slots, and load the crafting table.
The last step is to add the desired raw materials to the slots- and close the “crafting table” by clicking on it again. Place all the raw materials in the chapters and press the “load” button once again to add the crafters to the list of crafters who need an iron ingot to craft shears. When you are done, go to the spawn point to trigger the game’s monsters to spawn. You will need to kill around 200 mobs before you can get the shear and crafting table items back.
Once you complete the quests- you will be able to find several different types of shears available to craft. The best ones are forged shears with the combination shear/mithomancy combination, as they are the fastest and most accurate. A good option is a cobweb shaped shear, as they look similar to ferns and are cheaper to make.
Either way, just remember to collect all the wool and ferns before you start mining so that you can be sure you have everything you need when you go looking for the raw materials.
