How do you get Grindstone in Minecraft?

Grindstone is crafted from Stick, Stone Slab, and Oak Planks at a Crafting Table, in a single step. It also comes from Village (Weaponsmith house), not just the recipe above.

How many Grindstone can you stack?

64 Grindstone fill one slot, and filling it costs 128 Stick, 64 Stone Slab, and 128 Oak Planks: 64 crafts. A shulker box of Grindstone comes to 1,728, over 27 slots.

How long does Grindstone take to break?

Two figures cover Grindstone: 2 to mine, 6 to blow it up. Because the numbers differ on Grindstone, one of the two routes into it is always quicker. Reach for a pickaxe if you want Grindstone fast; the wooden one already drops it. Java 26.2 spells Grindstone out this way, so nothing on it was guessed.

When was Grindstone added to Minecraft?

Grindstone was added in version 1.14.

Building with it

Two sticks, a stone slab and two planks give a grindstone, and it strips enchantments off an item while giving back some experience. That makes it the counterpart of the enchanting table: one puts enchantments on, the other takes bad ones off and resets an item whose anvil cost has climbed too high.
