How do you make plant pots in Minecraft?

Put a fuel source (e.g. Coal or Wood) in the bottom box on the left side of the Furnace menu. Put Clay in the top box on the left side of the Furnace menu. Wait for the progress bar to fill, then add the Brick to your inventory. Repeat until you have 3 Bricks.

How are flower pots made?

Historically, and still to a significant extent today, they are made from plain terracotta with no ceramic glaze, with a round shape, tapering inwards. Flowerpots are now often also made from plastic, metal, wood, stone, or sometimes biodegradable material.
