This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft stone with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, stone is one of the many building blocks that you can make. This block is not made with a crafting table but rather with a furnace.

Let’s explore how to add stone to your inventory.

Where to find Stone in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find stone in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform Version(s) Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8 – 1.19.4
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3 – 1.19.4
  • Platform is the platform that applies.
  • Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
  • Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

Required Materials to make Stone

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft stone:

1 Cobblestone

How to craft Stone in Survival Mode

1. Open the Furnace Menu

First, open your furnace so that you have the Furnace menu that looks like this:

2. Add Fuel to the Furnace

Next, you need to add fuel to the bottom fuel box in the furnace.

In this tutorial, we are going to use coal as our fuel.

TIP: Read our tutorial called How to Add Fuel to a Furnace if you aren’t sure what items can be used as fuel, the length of time each fuel will burn, or how many items each fuel can smelt/cook.

3. Add Items to make Stone

Next, place the cobblestone in the top box of the furnace. You should see the flames cooking the cobblestone.

Once the cobblestone is cooked/smelted in the furnace, the stone will appear in the box to the right.

4. Move the Stone to Inventory

Now that you have made stone in your furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made stone in Minecraft!
