How to Make Smooth Stone in Minecraft

Smooth stone is one of the most useful (think of it like an axe to a woodcutter) and good-looking blocks in Minecraft, you could call it the Tom Cruz of Minecraft. It has a simple, clean texture and is pretty freaking good if you want to build or craft. We will grab those typing hands of yours and walk you through this article and explain how you can make this beauty, where you can find it, and different ways to use it so we can get those creative juices flowing.

What is Smooth Stone?

Smooth stone is a lighter, cleaner version of regular stone. It has a smooth texture with neat borders, think of it being an expensive table from a custom store which makes it perfect for modern builds or…… stuff. Smooth stone has been in Minecraft for a long time, and it’s still a favorite for players who want their creations to look polished and professional, sick! Innit?

How to Get Smooth Stone

1. Making Smooth Stone in Survival Mode

To make smooth stone in Survival Mode, you’ll need to follow two steps:

Step 1: Turn Cobblestone into Stone

Mine cobblestone (it’s super common and easy to find that is if you are underground).
Open a furnace and place the cobblestone in the top slot.
Add fuel (any burnable material) to the bottom slot.
Wait for the cobblestone to smelt into stone.

Step 2: Turn Stone into Smooth Stone

Take the stone you made in the first step and place it back into the furnace.
Add more fuel and let it smelt again.
The result is smooth stone!

2. Using a Blast Furnace

If you have a blast furnace then you are speeeeeed, you can smelt stone into smooth stone faster than with a regular furnace, kachow! Tho there is kind of a downside and that is that the blst furnaces use more fuel.

3. Finding Smooth Stone

You can sometimes find smooth stone already made in the world. Like uhhh…. Naturally occurring car.

Butcher Houses in villages (found in Plains, Savanna, and Snowy Plains biomes).
Trail Ruins, which are archaeological dig sites.
Chests in Mason Houses in villages.

4. Creative Mode

In Creative Mode, getting smooth stone is easy. Open the inventory, go to the building blocks section, and grab it. You can also use these commands:

Java Edition: /give @p smooth_stone [amount]
Bedrock Edition: /give @s smooth_stone [amount]

Replace [amount] with how many blocks you want.

5. Trading with Villagers

Some Mason Villagers will trade smooth stone or similar items for emeralds, though these guys are scammer at heart, I mean look; why the heck does a piece of wood cost 4 freaking emeralds? I can literally turn to the right and hit a tree and get like 15 piece. This is a quick way to get smooth stone if you don’t want to smelt it yourself.

Smooth Stone in Survival Mode

In Survival Mode, smooth stone is solid (yeah I know that’s terrible pun) choice for crafting, building, and upgrading tools.

Building Structures: Use it for walls, floors, or decorations.
Crafting: Smooth stone is needed for making things like blast furnaces and slabs.
Defensive Walls: Smooth stone makes strong, good-looking walls to keep out mobs like zombies and creepers.

Smooth Stone in Creative Mode

If you’re building in Creative Mode, smooth stone is a popular choice for:

Floors and Walls: Its clean, polished look works well for modern or industrial designs.
Accent Pieces: Use it with darker blocks to create cool contrasts.
Custom Creations: Smooth stone slabs can add detail to your builds, like layered patterns or decorative edges.

How to Craft Smooth Stone Items

1. Smooth Stone Slabs

Smooth stone slabs are thinner versions of the block and are perfect for creating layered effects like a creative lasagna. Here’s how to make them:

Place three smooth stone blocks in a row on a crafting table.
This gives you six smooth stone slabs.

2. Blast Furnace

To craft a blast furnace, you’ll need:

3 Smooth Stone Blocks
1 Regular Furnace
5 Iron Ingots

Place these items in the crafting table to make the blast furnace.

3. Stonecutter

The stonecutter is a super-efficient tool for crafting stone items, like a fire torch used to cut steel (I don’t know my tools, okay!). If you want to make smooth stone slabs, using a stonecutter lets you craft them one at a time instead of six at once, and in the end you’ll save resources and you can buy yourself a chocolate treat which the left overs…..oh wait…never mind.

Uses for Smooth Stone

Smooth stone has many uses in Minecraft, which start and end like your imagination:

1. Building Material

Smooth stone is used a lot of times for:

Modern Houses: Its clean texture makes it perfect for walls, floors, and decorations.
Forge Rooms: It looks great around furnaces and workstations.
Strong Walls: Build sturdy walls to protect your base from mobs.

2. Crafting Redstone Components

Smooth stone is used to make Redstone blocks, which power machines and circuits.

3. Beacons

Smooth stone can be used to build the base for a beacon, which gives helpful boosts like faster health regeneration and damage resistance, a totem of power per say.

4. Upgrading Tools

You can upgrade some tools by combining them with smooth stone in a furnace. This improves their durability and makes them last longer, TOOLS TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!!

Tips and Tricks for Using Smooth Stone

1. Save on Fuel

Use a lava bucket in your furnace if you need to smelt a lot of stone. One bucket of lava can smelt up to 100 items!

2. Make a Super Smelter

Set up a super smelter with multiple furnaces, hoppers, and Redstone to smelt large amounts of stone quickly. This is great if you’re planning a big project.

3. Try Stacking Slabs

When you stack smooth stone slabs, they don’t turn back into a full block like other slabs do. Instead, they create a cool layered look that’s unique to smooth stone.
