Minecraft Grindstone & What it Does

You might wonder what exactly a "Grindstone" does in Minecraft and it's rather simple. These are special work station blocks that are used for the repair of editing of tools production. They’re very specific in nature, yet neat to use within the game to assist with these items. The Grindstones can only be broken with the pickaxe, otherwise it’ll be destroyed.

These are slightly difficult to craft items requiring sticks, wood blanks and a slab in order to create them. You can find Grindstones naturally generating within Weaponsmith houses of the villages. For a fun fact, you can repair items or tools with this special item or also remove enchantments from them. More details and crafting guide below. Minecraft Grindstone Crafting
Uses and Other Details:
To essentially summarize, the latest item is mostly decorative in nature. It provides functionality to customize your tool, item or weapon experience within the game. To use you’ll open the table up like usual and it’ll contain slots. You can choose from a variety of options for crafting. When selected, you’ll get a preview of the item after the materials have been applied to be removed.

Once you’re happy, just take the preview and you’ll have what you wanted to create. Using this removes any prior work penalty the item has, it does not remove custom names. Putting two damaged items of the same type as inputs will combine their durabilities to form a new item, as a bonus it will have a 5% durability. A single enchanted book or weapon item can be placed in any of the input slots, which removes its non-curse enchantments without repairing or sacrificing the said item.

The Grindstone crafting creation is as follows. The top row; Stick | Stone Slab | Stick, second row is Wood Plank | Blank | Wood Plank, and the third row is Blank | Blank | Blank. Keep in mind that the wood planks can be of any combination for this particular creation. The stone slab isn’t too hard to get either, but perhaps the most complex here.
