3. Earth + Mud = ClayIf you already made Clay in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
4. Dust + Earth = PlanetOne quick craft for Planet: drag Dust onto Earth and keep the result for the chain.
5. Fire + Water = SteamSteam is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
6. Fire + Steam = EngineEngine is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.

Why this is the cheapest path to Steve

We rank every known recipe for Steve by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Clay and Minecraft — cost 4 and 9 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 11 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.

Tips for crafting Steve

• Craft in one sitting. The 11-craft chain for Steve takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
• Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Mud) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
• Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Minecraft + Surfboard also produces Steve if that route fits your inventory better.
