It is obtained in the Furnace from Sandstone. It is mined with a pickaxe.

Smooth Sandstone, Brick Slab
Build in Bricks, frame doors and windows with Smooth Sandstone and cap the wall with a row of Cut Sandstone Slab.
In a Furnace: 1 × Sandstone gives 1 × Smooth Sandstone. Mining the block drops it.
It is a yellow or red building stone for desert-style builds. It is an ingredient in 2 recipes, made at the Crafting Table and Stonecutter; for example Smooth Sandstone Slab and Smooth Sandstone Stairs.
The fastest tool is the pickaxe.
Placed under a Note Block, Smooth Sandstone gives the Bass drum sound.
