Building houses in Minecraft is not something easy, since it depends above all on the materials that we use for it. One of the materials they can be used is the smooth stone, something known in Minecraft. This is a material that many users in the well-known game want to use and do not know how to obtain it. For this reason, we will tell you more about it in this guide.
we go to tell how to make smooth stone in minecraft, something that surely interests many players. Since it is a somewhat complex material, so it is good to know what has to be done within the game so that it can be obtained. So then you can make use of these stones in the construction of houses, for example.
Here's what you need to be able to get smooth stone in minecraft, in addition to the steps we have to follow to be able to do it in the game, which is what most of you are interested in. We also tell you more about this type of stone and the uses it has in the game, since that way you will know if it is something you want or use or know the way in which you can apply it in the game, in case you have and to some units of it, for example.
what are we going to need
Before starting to tell you all the steps, it is good to know that there are some things that we are going to need to be able to get smooth stone in Minecraft. So we already know what we need and when we are ready we can get down to work with it. Having an oven is a must in this case, as you can imagine, so we have to have one or craft it then before we start with the rest. In addition, a pickaxe is also needed to obtain stones.
The process is divided into a total of three parts, which we will indicate below. It is a process that takes some time, but it is not complicated. The first time it may seem complicated, but you will see that it is actually quite simple. So that way you will know how it can be done for the future.
Cómo hacer una piedra lisa in Minecraft
The first step in this process is take a pick and go to a place where we can get stones in Minecraft. This can be a cave, for example, but also other places within the game where it is possible to obtain them. Once in this place we must destroy everything, so that we have as much stone as possible available. We have to make sure that we have a lot of stones in our inventory. When this has happened, we have finished this first part of the process in the caves or places where stones are obtained.
Once we have many stones, we will then go to the oven. As we have mentioned before, having an oven is essential, so you have to make sure you have one. When we are in said oven, we have to put charcoal and the stones that we just got in the cave. In this way we will be able to craft those stone blocks in the game. Next we're going to have to place those stone blocks that we have obtained in the oven, so that it will be possible to make smooth stone. Thus we have already obtained smooth stone in our Minecraft account. To obtain more quantity, we will have to repeat the process several times, as you can already imagine.
If we are low on coal in the game, it's good to know that you can get more if you chop coal ores using a pickaxe, so it's something we can get relatively easily in this case. The ores are something that can be found in almost any cave or underground in the game. So whenever coal is needed for the oven, which in the case of smooth stone will be quite a lot, we will always have a good amount available in our inventory.
What are smooth stones for?
We have already seen that the way to make these smooth stones in the game is not something complicated. As we mentioned at the beginning, it is a material that many want to have in the game, since it is something that we are going to be able to use on more than one occasion. What can we do with a smooth stone in Minecraft?
The main purpose of smooth stones in the game is to create melting furnaces, also known as blast furnaces. These ovens are something that was introduced in version 1.14 of Minecraft. It is a type of furnace that is capable of melting materials twice as fast as a normal furnace, something that is undoubtedly extremely useful, although it also consumes a greater amount of fuel (twice as much). These special furnaces can be used to smelt armor or ores, but their high speed makes them very interesting. The smooth stone will be used to build one.
On the other hand, many users in Minecraft they use the smooth stone to build houses too. This is an additional purpose, since many do not want to build houses using only wood, so they bet on stones. The process is somewhat more complex in this way, but it is presented as a good way to have a house that is different in Minecraft. They can be used both in the structure of said house and on the roof, if they are used in the form of slabs, for example. So it is something for which this stone can also be used in the well-known game.
craft blast furnace
As we have said, the main purpose of this type of stone in the game is to be able to create blast furnaces. They are ovens that can help us on many occasions, thanks to the fact that they are especially fast in their operation. So it is something worth having or using. First of all we are going to have to craft one in the game, so that later we will be able to melt armor at twice the speed. How can we create a blast furnace in the game?
In order to create a blast furnace in the game we have to place a normal oven in the center of the grid. Next to this furnace, three smooth stone blocks must be placed at the base and five iron ingots in the remaining upper holes. This is the recipe or way in which said blast furnace can be created in the game. Once we have placed everything in the right way, we get that blast furnace directly. It is something simple, although in many cases it is having the smooth stone or the iron ingots that will cost more, since we do not always have the necessary units for it.
Once we have this blast furnace we can melt armor or minerals in the same. The process will be much faster this way, since this oven does everything at twice the speed of a normal oven. Of course, the fuel consumption is also going to double, so we have to make sure we always have a sufficient amount in inventory, otherwise the process is going to stop. On the other hand, the use of this oven will give us half the experience points of a normal oven. So if you were thinking of using it to get a lot of experience points, it's not going to work that way, unfortunately.
Smooth stone variations
The smooth stone also has some variations in Minecraft, which may also interest us. Since what we have done before allows us to obtain these smooth stone blocks, but if we want to also can you get smooth stone slab. These are simply cut-out versions of said stone, which makes them more comfortable to use on roofs, for example. So if we had in mind the use of stone for a roof, we are more interested in said slab. This is something that we can create by entering the manufacturing menu and placing a row of smooth stone in the central area and in this way you will obtain six smooth stone slabs.
We also have the possibility of creating stone bricks, something that may interest us at other times. The way to obtain this is somewhat simple, since the process is very similar to the one we have followed to obtain said smooth stone. Only in this case, instead of burning the stone a second time, we are not going to do anything else, we are going to stop the process after having burned it only once. Once the initial stone blocks are obtained, you will have to place them in a square pattern that takes up four spaces to produce the stone bricks in this way. It is another variant that can be helpful at times in Minecraft and the process is simple, as you can see, so it can be useful in some cases.
