How to Make Smooth Stone in Minecraft

Looking to upgrade your builds with a sleek, polished look? Smooth stone is a stylish and versatile block in Minecraft that’s perfect for modern bases, blast furnaces, and clean decorative designs. Unlike regular stone or cobblestone, smooth stone has a refined texture and requires a bit of smelting to craft. In just a few simple steps, you can start producing your own supply.

What Can You Do With Smooth Stone In Minecraft?

Smooth stone in Minecraft is a sleek and clean building material that’s more refined than regular stone. It's widely used for decoration and functionality. You can craft smooth stone slabs, smooth stone blocks, and even double smooth stone slabs, which offer a polished aesthetic for your builds. These blocks are often used in updated villages, especially in the butcher's house, where smooth stone generates inside.

Besides aesthetics, smooth stone is also used as a crafting ingredient for essential tools like the blast furnace, which helps smelt cobblestone, ores, and other materials faster.

In Minecraft, this block has a blast resistance of 6, making it ideal for strong builds.

It’s also a fall damage block, meaning players don’t take fall damage land from one block jump on it.

How To Get Smooth Stone In Minecraft Survival

To find smooth stone in Minecraft Survival mode, you first need to smelt cobblestone into regular stone, and then smelt that stone again to get smooth stone.

This double-smelting stone process can be done in a furnace or blast furnace. You may want to use multiple furnaces to speed up the process, especially if you're planning to craft smooth stone slabs or three smooth stone blocks for a large structure.

Smooth stone can also be legitimately obtainable from mason houses in certain updated villages, where it appears naturally. This is one of the few ways to obtain it without using a crafting table. Keep in mind, smooth stone requires a pickaxe to be mined, or it won't drop the block's direct item form.

When being broken block by the wrong tool, it becomes a broken block, making the break subtitles and hit subtitles appear. You’ll notice a different sound compared to wood, sandstone, or natural soil.

How To Make Smooth Stone Slabs In Minecraft

To craft smooth stone slabs, you'll need three smooth stone blocks placed in the bottom slots of the crafting table. This yields six smooth stone slabs. These are considered proper stone slabs and are part of the unique slab types in Minecraft.

If you place two smooth stone slabs on top of each other, you’ll create double smooth stone slabs. These slab types simply stack but can have different appearances due to their top texture. Be careful, though: breaking a double slab won’t drop it as a full block—it becomes a broken dig unless updated with intentionally changed code in later versions.

Unlike normal slabs like stone slabs, which come from regular stone, smooth stone slabs have a more finished look and stand out among various variants. They are a new proper stone slabs option for elegant builds.

How To Get Smooth Stone In Minecraft Creative

In Creative mode, getting smooth stone is easier. You can access it through your inventory, depending on the Minecraft version. In Java Edition, simply search for "Smooth Stone" in the top slot of your creative inventory. However, earlier versions had extreme metadata variants which made it hard to access directly.

Make sure you're using the most updated version of the game, as the data value and metadata value for smooth stone were previously confusing. Now, the block is available in its giveable item identical tile form—no crafting table or smelting needed.

Give Command For Smooth Stone

Java Edition (1.13+):

/give @p minecraft:smooth_stone 64

Bedrock Edition (Mobile, Windows 10, Xbox One, etc.):

/give @p smooth_stone 64

Legacy Console Editions (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U):

No command support. These versions do not include a chat or command system. Smooth stone must be obtained through crafting or creative mode.

Conclusion

Smooth stone is useful for building, crafting blast furnaces, and making slabs. It's easy to smelt in survival, quick to grab in creative, and accessible with commands in modern editions. Legacy console players must use manual methods due to limited features.
