Are you trying to make Polished Deepslate in Minecraft but drawing a blank? This material can be a little difficult to come by, as you can only get it from Ancient Cities (whether you mine it directly from the Ancient City or use Cobbled Deepslate mined from an Ancient City to craft it). In this article we'll teach you how you can get Polished Deepslate, and what you can craft with it once you have it.

How to Get Polished Deepslate in Minecraft

You can use 4 Cobbled Deepslate to make 4 Polished Deepslate blocks with the crafting table. With the stonecutter, you can make just 1 Polished Deepslate with 1 Cobbled Deepslate.
