To make stone bricks in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Collect Cobblestone
Mine stone blocks with a pickaxe to get cobblestone. If you have a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment, you can mine stone directly and skip this step
- Smelt Cobblestone into Stone
Place the cobblestone in a furnace and add fuel (such as coal, charcoal, wood, or lava bucket). Wait for the cobblestone to smelt into regular stone blocks
- Craft Stone Bricks
Open your crafting table or the 2x2 crafting grid in your inventory. Place 4 stone blocks in a 2x2 square. This will yield 4 stone bricks
Alternatively, if you have a stonecutter, you can place one stone block inside and select stone bricks to craft them one at a time, which can be more resource-efficient
Variations of Stone Bricks
- Mossy Stone Bricks: Combine stone bricks with vines.
- Chiseled Stone Bricks: Craft stone brick slabs, then stack two slabs vertically.
- Cracked Stone Bricks: Smelt stone bricks in a furnace to get cracked stone bricks
Stone bricks are durable and commonly used for building castles, fortresses, pathways, and decorative structures in Minecraft
. In summary, the core recipe is:
4 stone blocks arranged in a 2x2 square = 4 stone bricks. This process
works in Minecraft Java, Bedrock, and Pocket editions
