In its long history, Minecraft has received countless updates and features. What started with just some standard blocks like dirt, wood, stones now has hundreds of unique blocks and items.
Players can transform blocks in Minecraft into different blocks and items. Tree logs can turn into stipped logs and planks. Then, planks can turn into crafting tables, sticks, fences, and so on.

Smooth Stone was officially released in the Minecraft 1.14 update. This article informs players about everything they need to know about smooth stones.

Uses of Smooth Stone
Smooth stones are necessary for crafting blast furnaces. To make one blast furnace, players need five iron ingots, one furnace, and three smooth stones. Blast furnaces are faster than regular furnaces in smelting ores.
Smooth stone is also heavily used for building in Minecraft. These blocks have a beautiful clean boundary which makes them perfect for making floors. Players can also use it for building cities, castles, and more.
Unfortunately, smooth stone stairs and walls are not available in the game. Players can only make smooth stone slabs out of it. These slabs are required for crafting armor stands in Minecraft.
