Convert Stone Stairs to Smooth Stone Stairs

Two-Stage Smelting for Stairs

Stone stairs can be smelted twice: first from cobblestone stairs to stone stairs, then from stone stairs to smooth stone stairs.

Process

First smelt: Place cobblestone stairs in a furnace to create stone stairs.

Second smelt: Take those stone stairs and smelt them again to produce smooth stone stairs.

Steps

1. Gather your cobblestone stairs

2. Smelt them in a furnace to get stone stairs

3. Place the stone stairs back in the furnace

4. Smelt again to create smooth stone stairs

5. Collect your finished smooth stone stairs

Practical Application

This is useful for creating uniform staircases with smooth stone aesthetics without manually crafting each stair variant. The two-stage process mirrors how full blocks work, maintaining consistency across the mod's mechanics.

Note

Ensure you have adequate fuel for both smelting stages if processing large quantities.
