What is Smooth Sandstone in Minecraft?
Smooth sandstone is a decorative block with a perfectly clean, pale yellow, and completely smooth texture on all of its sides. It is a refined version of the regular sandstone block. Its main purpose is to be a sleek and modern looking building material. Players use smooth sandstone to create minimalist builds, desert temples, or any design that requires a clean, warm, and uniform surface. It is a fantastic block for builders who love a simple and elegant aesthetic, providing a texture that is much cleaner than other stone types. It is one of the most popular building blocks for modern desert architecture in Minecraft.
How to get Smooth Sandstone in Minecraft
You can only get a smooth sandstone block by smelting a regular sandstone block in a furnace. It does not generate naturally in the world and cannot be crafted directly. To get it, you first need to get regular sandstone blocks. You can craft a sandstone block from four sand items, which you get by finding them in desert or beach biomes. Once you have your sandstone blocks, you need to smelt them. Place the sandstone block in the top slot of a furnace with some fuel in the bottom slot. The furnace will then cook the sandstone and turn it into a smooth sandstone block. You can also craft it from four cut sandstone blocks.
How to use Smooth Sandstone in Minecraft
The only use for a smooth sandstone block is for building and decoration. Its perfectly smooth, pale yellow texture makes it a great choice for creating modern floors, walls, and ceilings. It pairs very well with other sandstone variants and provides a great contrast to darker blocks like blackstone or deepslate. You can also use a smooth sandstone block to craft smooth sandstone stairs and slabs. It is a hard block with good blast resistance, making it a durable choice for building. Its value is purely in its beautiful, clean appearance, making it a staple for any builder who loves a modern or desert style.
