Ever get tired of your builds looking like a jumbled mess of cobblestones? Or maybe you need to build a blast furnace, or just want to make your chicken farm look better? Well, smooth stone is here to elevate your Minecraft game! But how do you transform those clunky cobblestones into smooth, polished perfection? Worry not, this step-by-step guide will equip you with the knowledge to master the art of crafting smooth stone and unleash your inner architect!
So, grab your pickaxe, fire up that furnace, and let’s get building!
Materials required to make Smooth Stone in Minecraft:
- Pickaxe (any works)
- Furnace
- Fuel source (coal, wood, lava, etc.)
- Cobblestone (at least 3 for one smooth stone)
Crafting Smooth Stone in Minecraft: A Step-by-Step Guide:
Here’s how to turn cobblestone into smooth stone in Minecraft:
- Mine some Cobblestone: Use your pickaxe to break cobblestone blocks.
- Craft a Furnace: Open your crafting table and place 8 cobblestones (while leaving middle block of crafting table empty) to create a furnace.
- Fuel Up the Furnace: Place any fuel source in the bottom slot of the furnace. Coal is the most efficient, but wood, saplings, and even buckets of lava will work!
- Smelt Cobblestone into Stone: Fill the bottom slot with your fuel and top slot of the furnace with one cobblestone. You’ll see flames begin to flicker, indicating the smelting process. Wait for a few seconds until the cobblestone transforms into stone.
- Smelt Stone into Smooth Stone: Repeat step 4, but this time place the previously smelted stone in the top slot. Once again, wait for the smelting process to complete and voila! You’ll have smooth stone.
Additional Tips:
- Multiple Furnaces: For faster production, consider building multiple furnaces and smelting cobblestone simultaneously.
- Blast Furnace: If you have an abundance of iron ingots, craft a blast furnace for faster smelting.
- Crafting Uses: Smooth stone can be used for various decorations, building blocks, and crafting recipes like stone slabs and tools.
- Alternate Sources: While rare, smooth stone can sometimes be found naturally in villages or generated using creative mode commands.
Enjoy building with your own smooth stone creations!
Bonus: Remember, you can also use smooth stone to craft a blast furnace. Simply arrange three smooth stones in a horizontal line on the bottom row of your crafting table, then place three iron ingots above them (one in each remaining slot). Finally, put your original furnace in the center slot to complete the blast furnace recipe. This advanced furnace smelts items twice as fast!
