How to Make Key in Infinite Craft

Learn how to make Key in Infinite Craft in just nine easy steps.

One of the most creativity-inspiring games around today is none other than Infinite Craft, a unique browser experience that makes use of an AI system to produce word blocks based on a player's combination of other elements. Initially, you're given the choice of just four starter elements to merge as you please, including Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. What you do with these blocks is up to you, making word output possibilities feel endless. Whether you're hoping to create a video game title block or a more specific physical object, there are just as many routes to a word as there are words themselves.

This can make the process feel daunting, as you may have a certain end goal block in mind but no knowledge of the path forward to obtaining it. While there is just one pool of elements to start your journey from, there are still various combinations of said elements to choose from, and afterward, so on. The block you desire could be miles away, or it could be just a few steps off.

How would you go about making Key in Infinite Craft, then? Without knowing where to begin, you may think yourself lost at first. Don't worry, as we've got you covered here with the fastest, most simple Key recipe we could find in Infinite Craft, which you can use in the future for more new blocks.

How to Make Key in Infinite Craft

The quickest path we've found to obtaining a Key block in Infinite Craft requires only nine easy steps total, starting with nothing but the original four element blocks consisting of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. You'll need to take these four blocks and eventually create Lock, which will bring you to the ever-elusive Key.

How to Make Lock in Infinite Craft

You will need one key ingredient for our Infinite Craft Key recipe, and it's none other than a Lock block. To create it, you'll first need to combine two starter element Earth blocks with one another for a Mountain block. Then, merge Fire with Water to produce Steam. Once you have Steam, add it to a new Fire block to make an Engine block. Place Engine atop an Earth block for Tractor, and you'll be halfway to having Lock.

Backtrack a bit now and combine two starter element Water blocks to produce a Lake block. You'll then need to merge Lake with the Tractor block you made earlier for Plow. After you craft Plow, you can add it to yet another Water block to get Canal. You're now on the final step before you have your key ingredient ready. Simply put Canal atop your Mountain block and you'll finally obtain Lock.

Making Key in Infinite Craft

All that's left now is putting Lock together with a starter element Fire block to produce your long-awaited Key block in Infinite Craft. If you consider how the game's AI reached its conclusion and gave you a Key block from your combination of one Fire block and one Lock block, it feels quite logical. After all, in real life, keys are used to unlock locks, and fire is utilized to create both.

Therefore, one Fire block plus one Lock block can equal a Key block in-game. If you want a quick overview of our full recipe before you go, just take a look at our handy table below for a step-by-step breakdown of how to create Lock and eventually Key in Infinite Craft.
