Shears are actually quite useful in Minecraft, especially when trying to harvest wool from sheep! Believe it or not, there are other uses for this underused tool as well. We will tell you step by step how to craft shears in Minecraft with this guide.

To craft shears in Minecraft, you will only need two iron bars! These are relatively easy to obtain, but you may need to do a bit of exploring.
We're going to need iron ore, which can be found just about anywhere there's stone to mine. Caves and ravines are great places to find ore. Any open space that gives you a large area to explore makes it easier to spot. You can also see it on the side of a mountain or hill. If you can't find him that way, mine your way down, and you should eventually encounter him. It is one of the most common ores you will find in the game.
Now that we have our iron ore, we will need to turn it into iron ingot. This requires the use of an oven! So make sure you have one of these and the fuel of your choice. Place your iron ore at the top and your fuel at the bottom of the furnace. You will need two to craft the shears!
We have our two iron bars, so let's just throw them into our crafting table or our crafting area in our inventory. Put each iron bar at a diagonal of each other to make the shears!
Now that you have some shears, you can go outside and collect the sheep's wool which can be used to make the all-important bed! The shears can also be used to pick up items that will normally smash into another material when you hit it! Things like cobwebs, dead bushes, ferns, grass, nether shoots, leaves, tripwire, vines, and seagrass can all be harvested with shears.
