Crafting gives you Crafting Table, a block filed under Utility Blocks. A single slot takes 64 Crafting Table, a hotbar row 576, and 3456 fill a double chest. As fuel Crafting Table is worth 1.5 smelts, so a stack of 64 smelts 96 items.

Crafting Table additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Crafter. The game rates Crafting Table at 2.5 hardness. It carries the same 2.5 into an explosion. Reach for an axe if you want Crafting Table fast; the wooden one already drops it. It sits between Cornflower and Crimson Fungus in Utility Blocks, number 94 of 340 there.
