Don't have any of those items in your inventory? Don't worry. We'll explain below where and how to get the milk, l'egg, the wheat and the sugar in Minecraft.

Collect three buckets of milk

To fill out your buckets of milk, you need two things:

Once you have your metal bucket in hand, milking the cow is very simple:

  1. With your bucket in hand, approach the cow.
  2. Make a right-click on the animal.
  3. The bucket is filling up instant milk.

Good news: you can milk the same cow indefinitely. As long as you have some empty buckets From your inventory, take as much milk as you need. Once the cake is made, the 3 buckets of milk become empty buckets in the crafting grid, ready to be used again.

Recover an egg from Minecraft

The eggs are harvested directly in their natural state, near the chickens who roam freely around the world.

  • The outposts of looters
  • The ruins along the trail
  • The underwater ruins
  • The shipwrecks
