The creation of a refined, even-textured building block from its rougher variant involves a straightforward process. First, ordinary sandstone must be smelted within a furnace. This action transforms the initial material into a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing version. The process is simple: place the raw sandstone into the furnace’s input slot and fuel the furnace with coal, charcoal, or other suitable fuel sources. Upon completion, the refined block is ready for collection and use.
This building material offers several advantages. It presents a cleaner, more modern appearance compared to its unsmelted counterpart. Its uniform texture lends itself well to large-scale construction projects where a consistent aesthetic is desired. Historically, variations of this block have offered builders diverse design options, contributing to the architectural possibilities within the game. The creation of this block is also useful in crafting other sandstone variants.
