How to Make Grindstone in Minecraft

Craft a Grindstone from 2 Sticks, 1 Stone Slab, and 2 Wooden Planks. It repairs tools and strips enchantments back into a little XP.

You'll need

  • 2× Stick
  • 1× Stone Slab
  • 2× Wooden Planks

Station / tools

  • Crafting Table

Yields: 1 Grindstone

Step by step

  1. 1

    Arrange the recipe

    Top row: Stick, Stone Slab, Stick. Middle row: Plank, empty, Plank. Leave the bottom row empty.

  2. 2

    Use it

    Combine two of the same item to repair it, or place a single enchanted item to remove its enchantments and recover some XP.

Tips

  • Grindstone repairs don't add the 'prior work' penalty that an Anvil does, so it's cheaper for combining two damaged tools.
  • Placing a Grindstone in a village turns an unemployed villager into a Weaponsmith.

FAQ

What does a Grindstone do?

It repairs two matching items into one and strips enchantments off gear, refunding a small amount of XP (curses stay).
