How to Make Stone Bricks in Minecraft? | Esports News – The Times of India

Minecraft allows players to craft stone bricks using specific materials. The materials required are cobblestone, four regular stone blocks, a furnace, and optionally, a stonecutter. The crafting process involves collecting cobblestone by mining stone, smelting it in a furnace to create stone, and then arranging four stone blocks in a 2x2 square on a crafting table to produce stone bricks. Variations of stone bricks include mossy stone bricks (crafted with vines), cracked stone bricks (produced by smelting stone bricks), and chiseled stone bricks (crafted using stone brick slabs). Stone bricks can be used in various builds such as fortresses, pathways, bridges, and walls. Console commands for obtaining stone bricks include: /give @p stone_bricks # for Java Edition (1.13+), /give @p stonebricks # for Java Edition (1.8-1.12), and /give @p stonebrick # for Bedrock Edition, replacing # with the desired quantity.
