History

Development

Java Edition

Java Edition Beta
1.3							A precursor and precedent for smooth stone exists in the double form of seamless stone slabs; information on this block is documented on that specific page.
Java Edition
1.5			13w02a				Seamless stone double slabs have been removed from the game as of this version by way of replacement with many slab types; see the page linked above for more specific "removal" versions.
			13w04a				Reintroduced smooth stone officially; it now acts much like a stone double slab, and drops two regular smooth stone slabs (then known simply as stone slabs) when broken.
1.8			14w25a				The item form of double slabs has been removed entirely.
1.13			17w47a				Smooth stone has now been given its current name; previously it would have been referred to in-game simply as "Stone Slab".
							Smooth stone has been added to the Creative inventory.
							Smooth stone now drops itself when mined with a pickaxe, rather than two smooth stone slabs.
1.14			18w43a				Smooth stone can now be obtained by smelting stone.
							The texture of smooth stone has been changed.
							Smooth stone is now used to craft smooth stone slabs (the slab types simply known as "stone slabs" before this version). They are no longer crafted from normal stone, as that recipe now yields new proper stone slabs which actually look like stone.
			18w48a				Smooth stone now generates in the updated plains villages.
			18w49a				Smooth stone now generates in the updated savanna villages and the new snowy tundra villages.
							Smooth stone can now be found in chests in village mason houses.
			18w50a				Smooth stone can now be used to craft blast furnaces.
1.20			23w12a				Smooth stone now generates in trail ruins.
			23w16a				Smooth stone no longer generates in trail ruins.
26.2			snap1				Added sulfur cubes, which have the ability to absorb smooth stone, providing the football/regular effect to the mob.
			snap6				Changed effect from football/regular to slow bouncy.
