You can harvest different types of stone building blocks at Minecraft, and then further refine the material into smooth stone through craftsmanship. Cobblestone is the most common type of stone you can find, and fairly easily, with early game equipment. In this tutorial, we’ll take you through the process of making smooth stone in Minecraft, step by step, and what you’ll need to do.
Stones are among the many building blocks that players at Minecraft can easily make. In fact, you’ll need a furnace to make a block, rather than a craft table. So let’s take a look at how you can make a stone in Minecraft.
What is Smooth Stone in Minecraft?
Smooth stone in Minecraft is a cobblestone that was baked in a furnace to “smooth the wrinkles.”
As the name means, smooth stone blocks don’t have lines running across them like cobblestone blocks. Smooth stone has the same function as regular stones, but it’s great if you want to add a little character to your house.
Players may make smooth stone blocks, slabs, and stairs to accent their Minecraft constructions.

Step 1: Get Cobblestone
Cobblestone is the most common type of stone you can get at almost any time. You ‘re going to need Cobblestone for a few things here. Next, this is the stone you ‘re going to use to build a furnace. Second, it’s the stone you ‘re going to turn into a smooth stone.
Step 2: Get Coal
Coal is also a relatively popular commodity in Minecraft, and you’re going to need it to power your furnace. In and around the stone fields, you’re going to find a lot of coal. Only look for the black specks in the bricks, and you’re going to get the gas.
Step 3: Build the Furnace
You can create the Furnace using 8 blocks of Cobblestone in the Custom Menu. Growing block, except the middle one, should be filled to create the furnace.
Step 4: Use Furnace to Turn Cobblestone into Stone
Once you’ve had your furnace built you ‘re going to need something to put into it. Coal is a good source of energy for the furnace, and it’s plentiful, so we’re going to use the coal we’ve found above and place it in the bottom of the furnace. You ‘re going to want to put your Cobblestone that you left in the top slot. When you put both things in the furnace, you can see that the flames are burning, and that means that the Cobblestone is being turned into Stone.
Step 5: Use Furnace Again to Turn Stone into Smooth Stone
In addition, to get Smooth Stone, you have to take this one step further and repeat the same process. You’ll take the Stone you make in your first run with the furnace and then add the coal and the result will be the Smooth Stone.
