What is Smooth Stone in Minecraft?
Smooth stone is a material block in Minecraft that players can easily get their hands on. The main usage for this block is building. Minecraft builders love to use smooth stone for their base foundation thanks to its texture and color. When combined with other building materials, such as different kinds of wood and stones, the results often come out amazing.
If you're in Creative Mode, the smooth stone block is under the "Building Blocks" tab in the inventory menu. However, not every platform or every version of the game supports smooth stone.
Here are the versions where the smooth stone is available:
- Java (PC/Mac)
- Pocket Edition
- Xbox One
- PS4
- Nintendo Switch
- Windows 10
- Education Edition
Besides the versions above, you won't find smooth stones anywhere else.
Recipes That Uses Smooth Stone In Minecraft
Besides its prominent usage in building and construction, smooth stones do not really have that many other usages.

How to Make a Smooth Stone in Minecraft?
To make smooth stones, the first thing you need to do is to gather all the ingredients and tools. You will need a furnace, cobblestone blocks, and some kind of fuel.
- Furnace: The furnace is a basic block that you can craft using 8 cobblestones. Place them to form a square in the crafting table, but leave the middle block. If you're planning to make a lot of smooth stones, we recommend crafting multiple furnaces to speed up the process.
- Cobblestone: This basic building block is really easy to obtain. Dig around right where you standing and you should find cobblestones in abundance.
- Fuel: The best fuel for the job is coal, another common find in Minecraft. Or if you don't have access to coal, make some charcoal by smelting wood with the furnace. And if you don't really care about efficiency, just use wood as your fuel.
Once you have gathered and collected all the materials and tools, it's time to make some smooth stones.
