EAGLERCRAFT
Crafting recipes that stay put
The crafting table is a 3×3 grid. The inventory grid is 2×2. Fence gates and cake are common searches because the shapes are easy to forget, and both recipes are stable on the versions Eaglercraft 1.8.8 and 1.12.2 actually are.

These are documented vanilla recipes for the legacy version families, not a recorded crafting test in each browser build. Server plugins and community forks may change recipes.
Fence gate
Place two matching planks vertically in the center column, one in each of two adjacent rows. Put a stick on both sides of each plank: stick, plank, stick in both rows. Leave the third row empty. Four sticks plus two planks make one fence gate; oak planks make an oak gate.
| Row | Left | Center | Right |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top | Empty | Empty | Empty |
| Middle | Stick | Plank | Stick |
| Bottom | Stick | Matching plank | Stick |
Cake
Top row: three milk buckets. Middle: sugar, egg, sugar. Bottom: three wheat. You place the cake, then eat it in seven slices. Buckets come back empty in the versions where that is the Java rule.
Anything added after 1.12, including many 1.14+ blocks, is absent on 1.8.8 and 1.12.2 even if a web recipe shows it.
Questions
Why is the recipe book empty?
1.8 has no recipe book. That UI arrived later. You place the items yourself.
