Smooth red sandstone is a variant of red sandstone, obtained by smelting.
Obtaining
Breaking
Smooth red sandstone can be mined with any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, the block drops nothing.

- correct tool, drops the block itself
- italicized can be instant mined
- ↑ These durations ignore other influential factors (e.g. Mining Fatigue), and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
Despite regular red sandstone having hardness and blast resistances of 0.8, smooth red sandstone has a blast resistance of 6 and hardness of 2. This is likely due to historical reasons, specifically as a result of hardness being inherited from slab blocks,[1] however the "correct"/"expected" values were changed to the "incorrect" values in Bedrock Edition.[2]
Smelting

| It acted as a double slab; see #Data history for an explanation. | |||||||
| Breaking smooth red sandstone drops two red sandstone slabs. | |||||||
| 1.13 | 17w47a | Smooth red sandstone now has a proper item form, which also now exists in the Creative inventory. | |||||
| Breaking smooth red sandstone now drops itself as an item, rather than two red sandstone slabs. | |||||||
| 1.14 | 18w43a | Smooth red sandstone can now be obtained by smelting red sandstone. | |||||

Data history

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.8 | 14w32a | Smooth red sandstone exists as a metadata variant of the secondary double slab block (block ID 181): if such a block had a metadata value of 8, it would use the top texture on all six sides. This logic continued from the primary double slab block (ID 43). | |||||
| Smooth sandstone existed as block 181, metadata 8. | |||||||
| 1.13 | 17w47a | The different type block states for the double_stone_slab2 ID have been split up into their own IDs.
| |||||
| Prior to The Flattening, this block's numeral ID was 181. | |||||||
| Bedrock Edition | |||||||
| 1.21.20 | Preview 1.21.20.22 | The different block states for the red_sandstone ID have now been split up into their own IDs. | |||||
