There is no TV in Minecraft, hence there is no TV crafting recipe. Although it’s not too difficult to construct one if you have the right materials and a little imagination. Keep in mind that there won’t be a lot of channels available.

Lamps Made of Redstone And an Oil Painting
With this technique for creating a TV, you can experience the gratification of turning a knob and observing a noticeable change in your surroundings. Assuming you have some Glow Stone Dust on hand, it’s a simple enough thing to whip up.
All you need to do to produce this kind of TV is construct a basic Redstone circuit that links together some Redstone Lamps. Paintings will be hung on these lights; they are translucent and will allow the light from the Redstone Lamps to shine through.
The combination of this illumination and having to physically “switch on” the device gives it a convincingly real-world TV vibe.
What’s Necessary to Construct It
- 1 Lever (1 Stick and 1 Cobblestone)
- Artwork No. 1 (8 Sticks and 1 Wool of any color)
- Toggle between 2 Redstone Lights (1 Glowstone block and 4 Redstone Dust each)
- The required amount of Redstone Dust to join the Lever to the Redstone Lights.
- As an alternative, you can set the Lever next to a Redstone Lamp to supply direct electricity to it without the need for a circuit (this would be like turning your TV on manually instead of using the remote)
How to Construct It
- The two Redstone Lamps should be set up in a 21 configuration next to each other.
- The Lever must be placed at a strategic spot.
- Leverage the Redstone Lamps into operation.
- Cover the Redstone Lamps with the Painting.
For a 2×1 Painting to generate, you must place it on the left Redstone Lamp while also blocking the block above it.
If you want a bigger TV, you can apply the same procedure, but increase the size of the Painting and the number of Redstone Lamps.
5. Electronics can be concealed in any way you desire.
6. Use the Lever to turn the TV on and off at will.
Reinforced Concrete with Plate Glass.
This TV is much easier to use, however it lacks the interactivity of the Redstone Lamp version. You may create a simple yet attractive TV out of some black blocks, some glass panes, and some wood planks.
What’s Necessary to Construct It
- Anywhere from two to four black squares (Coal Blocks, Black Wool, etc.)
- Two-Paned Glass (16 Glass Panes can be made from 6 Glass blocks on a Crafting Table)
- Ten or more identical wooden planks
If you’d rather not utilise wood planks in your decor, you can use any other kind of block.
- 4. Two identical trapdoors constructed of wood (2 Trapdoors can be made from 6 Wood Planks on a Crafting Table)
How to Construct It
- Build a 43 wall out of wood slats, leaving a 21 opening in the middle.
- Insert the two black blocks into the two by one opening.
- Add two more black blocks, labelled “speakers,” to the screen’s left and right.
The speaker blocks can be any dark colour you like, even grey.
4. Put the two glass panels in the space between the speakers.
The Glass Panes can’t make the full width of the TV without the aid of blocks on either side.
5. Trapdoors should be positioned on the speakers and inverted vertically so that they resemble the front of real speakers.
