What is Smooth Stone in Minecraft?
Smooth stone is a decorative block with a very clean, light gray, and completely smooth texture on all of its sides. It is a refined version of the regular stone block. Its main purpose is to be a sleek and modern looking building material. Players use smooth stone to create minimalist builds, futuristic structures, or any design that requires a clean, light gray, 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 architecture in Minecraft.
How to get Smooth Stone in Minecraft
You can only get a smooth stone block by smelting a regular stone block in a furnace. It does not generate naturally in the world, although you can find it in some village houses. To get it, you first need to get regular stone blocks. You can get stone by mining it with a Silk Touch pickaxe. If you mine it with a regular pickaxe, you will get cobblestone. You can also get stone by smelting cobblestone in a furnace. Once you have your stone blocks, you need to smelt them again. Place the stone block in the top slot of a furnace with some fuel in the bottom slot. The furnace will then cook the stone and turn it into a smooth stone block.
