Minecraft: How to Make Smooth Stone

Smooth Stone is an important crafting and construction material in Minecraft because it has a very high blast resistance. While this makes it a good material for base building, it also makes it the perfect base for crafting a Blast Furnace.

Blast Furnaces smelt items twice as fast as normal Furnaces, making them a necessary upgrade for any survival base. We’ll explain how you can make Smooth Stone in Minecraft so you can upgrade your furnaces to Blast Furnaces as quickly as possible.

How to Craft Smooth Stone in Minecraft

Smooth Stone Crafting Recipe

Crafting Smooth Stone blocks requires players to smelt stone blocks using either a furnace or a Blast Furnace. To smelt in a furnace, interact with the furnace to open its crafting menu. Place the stone blocks in the upper-left box and a flammable material, like coal or charcoal, in the lower-left box. This will activate the furnace, which will begin converting the stone blocks into Smooth Stone.

How to Get Stone Blocks in Minecraft

There are two main ways to get stone blocks in Minecraft. The first is by mining stone blocks using any pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch. The Silk Touch enchantment makes mined blocks drop exactly as they appear in the world. This means that any stone blocks you gather with the pickaxe will drop as stone blocks rather than cobblestone.

The second method for making stone blocks is by smelting cobblestone in a furnace. All you have to do is interact with the furnace, place cobblestone in the top box and coal or charcoal in the bottom box, and wait for the stone blocks to appear.

What is Smooth Stone Used For in Minecraft?

Players can use Smooth Stone for the following purposes:

• Crafting Smooth Stone Slabs
• Crafting a Blast Furnace

To make Smooth Stone Slabs, players will need to fill one row in the crafting table’s menu with Smooth Stone blocks. Every three Smooth Stone Blocks added into the crafting table will make six Smooth Stone Slabs.
