Star Path missions often ask you to craft specific items in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Oftentimes, though, you’re not told exactly which ones count for the duty, as is the case with the craft crates or barrels mission.
There are hundreds of items you can make, and Star Path duties don’t always count all of them, even ones that seem like they should work, so this quest may be tougher to check off than you might expect. If you’re struggling to get through this one, here’s how to craft crates or barrels in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

All crates and barrels in Disney Dreamlight Valley

There are six different items that officially count as crates and barrels in DDV. Items that count include those found at a crafting station with either the word “crate” or “barrel” in the title. Here is every crate and barrel you can make and what materials you need to craft them.
- Barrel Part
- Five Dark Wood
- One Iron Ingot
- Crate
- 10 Hardwood
- Old Barrel
- Five Dark Wood
- One Iron Ingot
- Half Barrel
- Five Dark Wood
- One Iron Ingot
- Pile of Crates
- Two Crates
- Stack of Crates
- Two Crates
Outside of these six items, there are plenty of other furniture items that technically have “crate” or “barrel” in the name, which is why completing this quest can be a bit trickier than expected. Most other crate and barrel items are only available through Scrooge McDuck’s shop, though, and cannot be crafted, thus making them ineligible for this duty.
You also may come across other craftable items you feel should work while scrolling through the listed options at a crafting station. Unfortunately, this task is very specific, so only the six items previously listed count for it.
Craft crates or barrels in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To finish the craft crates or barrels quest for the Paw-fect Romance Star Path event, you need to make three crates or barrels at any crafting station. You can craft three crates, three barrels, or mix and match between the two. How you choose to break it up doesn’t matter as long as you end up making a total of three.
If you’re worried about spending supplies on these items or don’t actually want to keep them, you can always get rid of them shortly after crafting. As long as you have the Cheshire Cat unlocked and raised to level seven friendship, you can tackle his The Uncrafting Station quest to obtain a powerful machine that uncrafts items, giving you back the materials you used to make them.
Completing this task earns you 25 Tokens to spend in the event. It’s a decent prize, but not quite enough for most rewards featured in the Paw-fect Romance Star Path. If you need more to claim the prize you’ve got your eye on, consider working through some additional tasks next. Some good ones to focus on are cooking a spicy spaghetti dish, buying seeds that can be turned into pasta, crafting any refinement item, and dressing up in your Mickey Mouse ears.
