How to Make Smooth Stone in Minecraft | Screen Rant - Screen Rant

While Cobblestone is a decent choice for building a simple yet protected starter home in Minecraft, Smooth Stone can be a much more aesthetically pleasing alternative. As its name suggests, Smooth Stone is a building block in Minecraft that can give floors and walls a sleek-looking surface. It offers a more clean and refined look than its Cobblestone counterpart, and it is also a necessary component in crafting the Blast Furnace and Armor Stand.

Players are able to acquire Smooth Stone quite early in Minecraft, as Cobblestone is the primary material required to craft it. Cobblestone is extremely common in Minecraft, and players will likely find it within minutes after spawning into a new world. It naturally comes in the form of Stone blocks, which can be mined with a Minecraft pickaxe. After gathering some Cobblestone and Coal, players will have what is needed to make Smooth Stone.

To make Smooth Stone in Minecraft, players will need first to craft a Furnace. Using a Crafting Table in Minecraft, place 8x Cobblestone Blocks around the outside border of the crafting grid, leaving a blank space in the center slot. Once the Furnace has been crafted, set it down and place Coal and Cobblestone inside. After a few moments, the Furnace will produce a block of Stone. Take the Stone and refine it again within the Furnace to make a block of Smooth Stone.

How to Use Smooth Stone in Minecraft

The first notable recipe players can make using Smooth Stone is a utility block in Minecraft known as a Blast Furnace. The Blast Furnace is similar to a Furnace, except it can smelt stone, ores, and other raw metals at twice the speed.

The Blast Furnace is also the job site block to turn a Villager into an Armorer. Players will need the following materials to craft a Blast Furnace in Minecraft:

Iron Ingot x 4
Furnace x 1
Smooth Stone x 3

Another useful recipe for Smooth Stone in Minecraft is the Armor Stand, an entity used for holding and displaying wearable items. To craft an Armor Stand, players must acquire the following resources:

Stick x 6
Smooth Stone Slab x 1

The Smooth Stone Slabs can be made by taking 3x Smooth Stone blocks and placing them horizontally on the crafting grid.
