Smooth Stone at a glance

Smooth Stone, a block out of smelting, sits under Utility Blocks. Carrying Smooth Stone is cheap: 64 to a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 1728 in a chest.

Smooth Stone additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Blast Furnace. It is a 2-hardness block. For explosions the number that counts is 6. A pickaxe shortens the job on Smooth Stone, and no minimum material applies. Generated chests only ever hold Smooth Stone in one place: village mason chests (about 21%). It sits between Smooth Basalt and Snow Block in Utility Blocks, number 288 of 340 there.
