Since there is nothing in-game (AFAIK) that gives you a list of recipes, what are all the basic ones that new players should know? Also, furnace recipes would also need to be listed, as those are extremely helpful as well.

How do you define "basic recipes new players should know"? – fbueckert Feb 22 at 17:11

There's no good way to define a cutoff between essential and non-essential recipes, so this can't have a canonical answer. I suggest you bookmark the Minecraft wiki and get familiar with the item/block list at the bottom of every article on items and blocks. – SevenSidedDie Feb 22 at 17:14
Basic items such as tools or nearly anything made with wood to be used in a house (Chests, doors, etc.) – Domenik VanBuskirk Feb 22 at 17:14

You've just demonstrated why this is unanswerable; everyone's going to define "recipes new players should know" differently. – fbueckert Feb 22 at 17:17

Alternatively, install the Not Enough Items mod and use its recipe mode: you can look up the recipes that make or use any item from inside your inventory. – SevenSidedDie Feb 22 at 17:35
