Grindstone

A grindstone is a weaponsmith's job site block, used to repair items and tools, or remove enchantments from them.

Natural generation
Grindstones naturally generate at village weaponsmiths.

From block loot
A grindstone must be mined by a pickaxe or else it drops nothing.

Requirements
Recipe becomes available after crafting stone slabs from stone, which can be acquired from cobblestone using smelting.

Info


When, a GUI is displayed with two input slots and one output slot.

Putting two damaged items of the same type as inputs combines their durabilities to form a new item in the output slot and 5% of the tool's maximum durability is added as a bonus, rounded down, as well that any non-curse enchantments on are removed upon performing the action, just like the crafting grid does (whether the 2x2 from the player's inventory or the 3x3 from the crafting table) but unlike it, it returns an amount of experience for each item, whether on top and/or bottom slots. This can range from just a few points for low-level enchantments (such as Efficiency I or Protection I) to a large amount of experience for higher ones. The bottom input item is sacrificed in this operation.

A single enchanted (book and weapon, but not golden apple) item can also be placed in either input slot, which removes its non-curse enchantments, returning an amount of experience for each, without repairing it or sacrificing another item.

Using a grindstone removes any prior work penalty the item has. However, if the resulting item has curses, the prior work penalty is set to 1 with one curse, or 3 with both curses. Grindstones do not remove items' custom names.

If the action is not applicable (e.g. the two inputs are different items), the arrow displays a red cross, like that of the anvil.

The following tables show the durability bonuses of various items:

Experience
When removing enchantments from items, the player gains experience equal to the minimum modified enchantment level of that enchantment. The final amount is a uniformly-distributed random amount between half the resulting sum (rounded up) and the sum itself.

Changing profession
If a village has a grindstone that has not been claimed by a villager, any villager who didn't already pick a job site block has a chance to change their profession into weaponsmith.
