Talk:Stone

Shouldn't it say stone is a renewable resource? It is listed as one on the Renewable resource page. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 174.54.79.43 (Talk) 16:36, 20 February 2012‎. Please sign your posts with

Does anyone know how much stone there is per chunk on average? I need to know to find out how much coal ore there is per Chunk so I can finish my ore exchange rate. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.33.143.250 (Talk) 10:15, 20 June 2012. Please sign your posts with
 * In 1.2.5, there's an average of 10,876 stone and 136 coal ore per chunk. -- Orthotope 10:34, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Smooth Stone
Is there a reason why some call it Smooth Stone?--85.27.161.163 16:25, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Probably because it looks smoother than other stone blocks, similarly to Smooth Sandstone. This is the only explanation that seems plausible to me. smwforever45 16:45, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Guess we'll need a new Smelting section for Smelting: Stone-specifically;  into Smoothstone-specifically (from-Stone).


 * In 1.14 Village & Pillage Update. Time to get Smoother than Stone!  Yilante 12 /16 /18  9:27 a.m. 76.209.248.192 17:27, 16 December 2018 (UTC)


 * A convention back in the Beta days of Minecraft to differentiate Stone from Cobblestone was to call Stone "Smooth Stone", the reason being Cobblestone was used more abundantly than Stone was -- in recipes, building, and etc. Now there is an even more "smooth" version of Stone, so it makes sense to pass the nomenclature on as well. Though I like to think this is the reason, smwforever45 is probably correct and I am most likely wrong. EDIT: This was back in 2013, around 1.7, before smooth stone was a thing. As such, the 1.14 update is not relevant. I took the liberty of striking it out (rather than editing it out) of my reply for transparency. 68.104.108.213 15:45, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

Split Smooth Stone
Why is it even on this page? -PancakeIdentity (talk) 03:25, 20 August 2019 (UTC)


 * On one hand, Sandstone, Smooth Sandstone, and Chiseled sandstone are on one page. On the other hand, Stone and Smooth stone have different uses in crafting. 184.181.102.188 08:08, 20 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Because all other smooth block got put on their non-smooth version page when they were split off from slabs.
 * stone and smooth stone's properties are idential, just the drop and methods of obtaining aren't, which can be said for basically every item sharing a page with another item including (mossy) cobblestone (which also has different usages, and recently got merged). –Preceding unsigned comment was added by FVbico (talk • contribs) at 8:41, 20 August 2019 (UTC).

 * How I see it, Smooth Stone and Stone are as different as Stone and Cobblestone. They have different crafting recipes, different break times, different uses. Unlike Smooth Sandstone, Smooth Stone is used in crafting recipes, i.e. armour stand, and stone is used in separate recipes, whereas smooth sandstone and sandstone are simply decorative blocks.--Gingernotaninja (talk) 05:04, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * They actually don't have different breaking times. And recipe usage is the case for literally every article that covers multiple blocks, even Slab, which actually does have different breaking times. FVbico (talk) 05:25, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Cracked Stone - no longer available?
Previously 'cracked stone' was created by heating stone blocks in a furnace. Not that action makes smooth stone.

The cracked stone icon is still in the game - does anyone know how to create it or is it merely available when found in the wild?

note: cracked stone NOT bricks


 * Cracked stone was never a thing. FVbico (talk) 16:22, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
