How to get Polished Andesite in Minecraft
You can only get polished andesite by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting recipe is very simple. You will need four blocks of regular andesite. To get andesite, you need to go mining. Andesite generates in large veins underground, similar to dirt or gravel. You can mine it with any pickaxe. Once you have your four andesite blocks, open a crafting table. Place the four blocks in a 2 by 2 square in the crafting grid. This will give you four blocks of polished andesite. You can also use a stonecutter to turn one andesite block into one polished andesite block, which is a great option if you only need a few.
