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. 

Time to craft the grindstone. Open the crafting table to reveal a 3x3 grid. Place the materials like this:

  • Row 1: Stick, Stone Slab, Stick
  • Row 2: Wood Plank, Empty, Wood Plank
  • Row 3: Empty

To use your new grindstone, place it on the ground and interact with it. Here's what a grindstone can do:

  • Repair Tools - Put 2 damaged tools of the same type in the grindstone to combine their durability and repair them. The repaired tool has no enchantments.
  • Disenchant Items - Remove enchantments from tools, weapons, or armor by placing them in the grindstone. This also restores some experience.
  • Change Villager Jobs - Place a grindstone near an unemployed villager to change their job to a Weaponsmith. This lets you trade with them for emeralds and other goods.
