How To Make Smooth Stone

What You’ll Need

• Cobblestone (to smelt into Stone)
• Furnace
• Silk Touch enchantment (optional, for directly mining Stone)

How to Make Smooth Stone

1. Smelt cobblestone in a furnace to create Stone.
2. Place the Stone in the top slot of the furnace.
3. Ensure the furnace has a fuel source (e.g., coal, charcoal, or lava).
4. Wait a few seconds for the smelting process to complete, indicated by the progress arrow filling up.
5. Collect your Smooth Stone from the furnace output.

And as you can see, we get Smooth Stone from smelting Stone in the furnace, pretty simple!

Tips for Efficiency

• Use Multiple Furnaces: If you’re crafting a large amount of smooth stone, set up several furnaces to smelt cobblestone and stone simultaneously. This drastically reduces wait time.
• Fuel Efficiency: Charcoal is a renewable fuel source you can make by smelting logs. It’s a great alternative to coal for long-term projects.
  • If you need a lot of charcoal, you can setup a simple farm for this. Gather as much wood as possible and use rails with hoppers and furnaces to smelt everything.
• Blast Furnace Limitation: Note that blast furnaces cannot be used to smelt stone or smooth stone; they’re only for ores and metals. Stick to a regular furnace for this task.
