Smooth stone is a variant of stone made by smelting regular stone.
Obtaining
Breaking
Smooth stone requires a pickaxe to be mined, in which case it drops itself. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation
Smooth stone generates inside some houses in plains, savanna, and snowy plains villages in the Butcher's house in the form of slabs and blocks.

History
| Java Edition Beta | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.3 | |||||||
| Java Edition | |||||||
| 1.5 | 13w02a | Seamless stone double slabs have been removed from the game as of this version by way of replacement with many slab types; see the page linked above for more specific "removal" versions. | |||||
| January 22, 2013 | Jeb says that smooth stone will be reintroduced, also hinting at the introduction of smooth sandstone. | ||||||
| January 22, 2013 | Jeb says that smooth stone may become legitimately obtainable as a block in the future. | ||||||
| 13w04a | Reintroduced smooth stone officially; it now acts much like a stone double slab, and drops two regular smooth stone slabs (then known simply as stone slabs) when broken. | ||||||
| 1.13 | 17w47a | Smooth stone has now been given its current name; previously it would have been referred to in-game simply as "Stone Slab". | |||||
| Smooth stone has been added to the Creative inventory. | |||||||
| Smooth stone now drops itself when mined with a pickaxe, rather than two smooth stone slabs. | |||||||
| 1.14 | 18w43a | Smooth stone can now be obtained by smelting stone. | |||||
| Smooth stone is now used to craft smooth stone slabs (the slab types simply known as "stone slabs" before this version). They are no longer crafted from normal stone, as that recipe now yields new proper stone slabs which actually look like stone. | |||||||
| 18w48a | Smooth stone now generates in the updated plains villages. | ||||||
| 18w49a | Smooth stone now generates in the updated savanna villages and the new snowy tundra villages. | ||||||
| Smooth stone can now be found in chests in village mason houses. | |||||||
| 18w50a | Smooth stone can now be used to craft blast furnaces. | ||||||
| 1.20 | 23w12a | Smooth stone now generates in trail ruins. | |||||
| Bedrock Edition | |||||||
| 1.9.0 | beta 1.9.0.0 | ||||||
| Smooth stone can be obtained by smelting stone. | |||||||
| Smooth stone can be used to craft smooth stone slabs. | |||||||
| 1.10.0 | beta 1.10.0.3 | Smooth stone now generates in the new villages. | |||||
| Smooth stone can now used to craft blast furnaces. | |||||||
| 1.11.0 | beta 1.11.0.1 | Smooth stone can now be found in village mason chests. | |||||
| 1.20.30 | Preview 1.20.20.21 | Increased the hardness of smooth stone from 1.5 to 2. | |||||
| PlayStation 4 Edition | |||||||
| 1.88 | |||||||
| 1.90 | |||||||
| 1.91 | Smooth stone now generates in the new villages. | ||||||
Data history
| Java Edition | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 | 13w02a | Prior to this version, seamless stone double slabs (smooth stone's predecessor) existed as block 43 metadata 7 or 15. In this version, this was replaced by the quartz slab. | |||||
| January 22, 2013 | Jeb details the future introduction of seamless slab types as a metadata variant of normal slabs; if a double slab block's metadata is 8 or higher, the top texture will be used on the side faces and bottom face as well. | ||||||
| 13w04a | Double slab blocks have been intentionally changed such that double slabs with metadata 8-15 look identical to those with 0-7, except that they use the top texture on all sides instead. As a result, smooth stone has been reintroduced to the game with metadata value 8. | ||||||
| 1.13 | 17w47a | Prior to The Flattening, this block's numeral ID was 43. | |||||
