What is Fletching Table in Minecraft?
A fletching table is a block that looks like a wooden table with a target and some feathers on top. It is one of several "job site" blocks for villagers. The main purpose of a fletching table is to give an unemployed villager the fletcher profession. Fletchers are very useful villagers to have because they trade for items related to archery, such as arrows, bows, and crossbows. In the current version of Minecraft, the fletching table has no other function for the player. You cannot use it to craft anything. However, it is still a very important block for anyone who wants to set up a villager trading hall and get a reliable source of emeralds and archery supplies.
How to get Fletching Table in Minecraft
There are two main ways to get a fletching table. The first and most common way is to craft it. The crafting recipe is very simple and can be made in your 2 by 2 inventory grid. You will need two pieces of flint and four wooden planks of any type. You can get flint by breaking gravel blocks; there is a small chance a piece of flint will drop instead of the gravel block. You can get planks from any tree. Once you have your materials, open a crafting table. Place the two flint in the top row, side by side. Then, place the four planks below them in a 2 by 2 square. This will create one fletching table. The second way is to find one. Fletching tables generate naturally inside fletcher houses in villages. You can simply break it with an axe to pick it up.
How to use Fletching Table in Minecraft
The only use for a fletching table is to assign a profession to a villager. If you have a villager that does not have a job, and there is a bed nearby, you can place a fletching table near them. The villager will then change their profession to a fletcher, and they will wear a leather cap with a feather in it. Once they are a fletcher, you can start trading with them. Fletchers will buy items like sticks and string from you for emeralds, and they will sell items like arrows, flint, bows, and even enchanted bows and crossbows at higher levels. This makes the fletching table a key to getting some of the best archery gear in the game. It is also a nice looking decorative block for a workshop or hunting lodge.
