Trivia

 * Strangely, when smelting cobblestone blocks, the cracked form of stone, they turn into stone without cracks. Yet, when smelting stone bricks without cracks, they turn into a cracked variant. This could be a reference to two different processes: how rocks expand when heated, and causing fractures, which could make the stone bricks crack; or simply melting the cobblestone so it reforms into igneous stone.
 * On Bedrock Edition, there is an unused data value for stone bricks called smooth stone bricks, it can be obtained through commands but is unobtainable in survival mode or through the creative inventory. The vanilla game does not assign a name to this block, so it uses the block's translation key. A name for this block can be assigned with a resource pack like any other block.
