Crafting descriptions

This page describes content that has been removed and was only present in earlier versions of Bedrock Edition.

 

Item descriptions from crafting/stonecutting were removed in Pocket Edition v0.9.0 alpha, and from smelting in a later update.

In alpha builds of Pocket Edition, crafting interfaces held descriptions for the item to be crafted.

List

Below is a table of all item descriptions. Descriptions for uncraftable items also appear to exist despite not having anywhere to be displayed.

All items are listed in the order as they are found in the en_US.lang file, which means blocks and items are not grouped by material or utility. The table is sortable and can be sorted alphabetically.
