Smooth sandstone in Minecraft is, as the name implies, a smooth version of sandstone. And it looks great! Luckily, it’s pretty easy to craft and find. There’s a few different methods — smelting normal sandstone in a furnace, using a crafting table (if you’re on an old version of Minecraft), finding it at desert villages, and selecting it in Creative Mode’s item selection menu. This wikiHow will walk through these 4 methods on how to make smooth sandstone in Minecraft.

Things You Should Know

  • Make smooth sandstone by using a furnace, sandstone, and any fuel (such as charcoal). 1 sandstone will output 1 smooth sandstone.
  • If you’re playing an older version of Minecraft, smooth sandstone is made at a Crafting Table. Place 4 sandstone blocks in a 2-by-2 square to make 1 sandstone.
  • Find smooth sandstone in desert villages. Structures there will be partially made of smooth sandstone.
  • If you’re playing on Creative Mode, you can get smooth sandstone by using the item selection screen and searching for “smooth sandstone.”

    You’ll need these 3 things to make smooth sandstone. 1 sandstone will output 1 smooth sandstone using this method. [1]

    This is the gray utility block that looks like an oven made of stone. [2]
    • If you don’t have a furnace nearby, you can quickly make one using 9 of any stone-tier block and a Crafting Table. Place the 9 stone blocks (such as cobblestone) in a 3-by-3 square in the Crafting Table menu. There should be an empty square in the middle of the menu. Click the furnace on the right to put it in your inventory. [3]
