Even though Minecraft seems pretty simple with just mining and crafting, players need to be ready for battles too. Combat is a big part of its gameplay, and as you dig deeper into the game, you will find advanced loot and face tougher mobs.
Grindstones are key tools in Minecraft because they help you repair weapons and remove enchantments. If you are not sure how to get a Grindstone or what it does, this guide will explain everything you need to know to get and use one in Minecraft.

How to Make Grindstone in Minecraft
The Grindstone is a useful block in Minecraft, and there are two main ways to get one. Here’s a quick overview of both methods:
Craft the Grindstone
To craft a Grindstone in Minecraft, Minecrafters will have to collect a few materials. Here’s what you need:
- 2 x Sticks
- 1 x Stone Slab
- 2 x Planks.
Sticks are made by combining two wooden planks. You also need planks to craft the Grindstone, so it would be a good idea to make extra. You can get them by chopping down any tree. For a stone slab, mine three stones from caves or mountains.
Once you have all the materials, open the crafting menu and place them in the following pattern: one stick, one stone slab, one stick, one plank, an empty slot, and the last plank.
Get From Weaponsmith
This is the easiest way to get a Grindstone. For this method, you will need to find a weaponsmith, a Minecraft villager who sells weapons. At his workstation, you will see a Grindstone. Simply mine it using a pickaxe.
If players use any tool other than a pickaxe, they won’t be able to collect the Grindstone. So, make sure you have a pickaxe in your inventory. A pickaxe can be easily crafted using three iron ingots and two sticks.
How to Use Grindstone in Minecraft
You can use a Grindstone to repair many tools and weapons in Minecraft. For that, put two damaged items of the same type into the slots. For example, if you have two damaged swords, place one in each slot. The Grindstone will combine them into one repaired item with more durability.
As mentioned earlier, the Grindstone can also disenchant weapons. If you put an enchanted weapon in the Grindstone, it will take away the enchantment and give you experience points. The amount of experience you get depends on the level of your attached enchantment.
