To make smooth stone in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Mine Cobblestone : First, gather cobblestone by mining stone blocks with a pickaxe. Cobblestone is the rough block you get when mining stone without Silk Touch
- Craft a Furnace : Use 8 cobblestones placed around the perimeter of the crafting grid, leaving the center empty, to craft a furnace
- Smelt Cobblestone into Stone : Place the furnace on the ground, open it, and add fuel (coal, charcoal, wood, etc.) in the bottom slot. Put the cobblestone in the top slot to smelt it into regular stone
- Smelt Stone into Smooth Stone : Take the stone you just made and place it back into the furnace’s top slot with fuel in the bottom slot. Smelt the stone again to get smooth stone
Smooth stone is a decorative block with a sleek, modern look and can be used for building foundations, walls, floors, and crafting smooth stone slabs or blast furnaces
Summary:
- Cobblestone → smelt → Stone
- Stone → smelt → Smooth Stone
This process requires two smelting steps and fuel for the furnace each time
. Smooth stone is useful because, unlike regular stone, it drops itself when mined, so you don’t have to smelt it again if you break and replace it
