How to Make Grindstone in Minecraft
Before crafting a grindstone, gather these materials:
- 2 sticks
- 2 wooden planks
- 3 stone blocks (smelt cobblestone in a furnace to get stone)
To get sticks, place 2 wooden planks vertically in a crafting grid. For wooden planks, put at least 2 logs into a crafting grid. Logs come from chopping down trees. After getting 3 stone blocks, open a crafting table. Place the 3 stones in a row to make 6 stone slabs.
