Usage

Smooth stone bricks could be used as a construction material much like regular stone bricks.

Silverfish

Silverfish have the ability to enter and hide in smooth stone bricks, creating an infested block of stone as a result.

Note blocks

Smooth stone bricks could be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

History

Java Edition

Java Edition Beta
1.8Pre-release Smooth stone bricks did not officially exist in this edition. However, like in Bedrock Edition, different types of stone bricks were distinguished via metadata; since smooth stone bricks in Bedrock Edition were the base ID with metadata 4, the corresponding ID-metadata combination in Java Edition could be considered smooth stone bricks. These are covered in more detail at the Invalid Data Value Stone Bricks page.

Bedrock Edition

Pocket Edition Alpha
v0.4.0 Added smooth stone bricks.
Bedrock Edition
1.10.0beta 1.10.0.3 The textures of smooth stone bricks have been changed.
1.21.20Preview 1.21.10.20 Removed smooth stone bricks. All existing instances are converted to normal stone bricks.

Data history

Bedrock Edition
1.21.20Preview 1.21.10.20 The different block states for the stonebrick ID have been split up into their own IDs.
