To make smooth stone you need to smelt stone in a furnace. It is a simple process that requires two stages of smelting and allows you to obtain a block often used when building efficient bases. In this guide we will explain all the steps.
Steps to Make Smooth Stone in Minecraft
You will need to start the whole process by collecting cobblestone.
Mine Some Cobblestone
To get cobblestone you need to mine regular stone which can be found almost everywhere underground and on the surface of the world. Simply use a pickaxe and each mined block will turn into cobblestone which is needed for the rest of the process. It is one of the easiest resources to obtain in the game so it should not be a problem.
However you can skip the second step of the process by mining stone with a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch. In that case instead of cobblestone you will get stone directly which allows you to finish the process faster.
Smelt Cobblestone to Make Stone
To get stone you need to smelt cobblestone in a furnace. Place the cobblestone in the top slot and put any fuel in the bottom slot such as coal charcoal sticks or logs. After a short time the cobblestone will turn into stone which will be needed for the next step.
Smelt Stone to Make Smooth Stone
To get smooth stone you need to open the furnace again and this time place stone in the top slot. Add fuel and wait for the stone to smelt into smooth stone.
After a short time you will receive the finished block which you can use to build your base.
