Minecraft allows you to craft all manner of things. But making them actually useful and usable can be trickier. If you want to build a chair that "works" - one that you can actually sit on - it is doable once you know how.

Crafting a Chair in Minecraft

To build a chair in Minecraft, place 3 trapdoors in a box formation, leaving the seat empty. Place 2 rails facing towards the seat. Place the minecart on the rail farthest from the chair, and then remove the rails.

This can take a few attempts, so if at first you don't succeed, try, try again!

How do I make a couch with a mine cart?

Community Answer

I don't think that is possible, but you can use stair blocks to build a couch.

Question

Whenever I am fighting with another player, I always lose and people try to steal my stuff from my own house. And that makes me feel weak. How can I win?

Add defences. Also, there is a command u can use to kill them instantly: /kill( player name). You can also use ban instead of kill ,to ban them from your world. However, you might want to consider the possibility that you stop playing with them at all It's not worth it to play with someone who makes you upset and prevents it from being fun.

Yes, you can put a boat. But if you make a chair without a minecart and boat, you can't sit on it.

Tips

This chair can take about 30 seconds to a minute to build if you have practiced it a few times and have all the necessary materials.

Don't get frustrated if you can't get the trapdoors right the first few times. It takes practice, so if you need a break, just come back to it later.
