Are you trying to make Cracked Stone Bricks in Minecraft? This variation of the Stone Brick block has no advantages over other stone or cobblestone blocks, but you may want it for decoration (which is its main use). Cracked Stone Bricks cannot be crafted, so the only way to get them is by smelting them or mining them from where they naturally generate.

Getting Cracked Stone Bricks in Minecraft

Creating Cracked Stone Bricks

Cracked Stone Bricks can only be made by smelting. You can't craft Cracked Stone Bricks via the crafting grid, so you must use a furnace, blast furnace, smoker, or campfire to smelt them. Furnaces can be obtained from weaponsmiths in plains, desert, or savanna villages. They also generate in houses in snowy tundra, taiga, and snowy taiga villages, as well as in ancient cities, trail ruins, and igloos. You can also craft one with 8 stone-tier blocks. Blast furnaces can be obtained from armorers within villages, as well as in trail ruins. You can craft one with 5 Iron Ingots, 3 Smooth Stone, and 1 furnace. Smokers can be obtained from butcher houses in villages. You can also craft one with 1 furnace and 4 of any of the following (can be mixed): log, stem, stripped log, stripped stem, wood, hyphae, stripped wood, and stripped hyphae. Campfires can be found in taiga and snowy taiga villages, as well as inside ancient cities. You can craft one with 3 Sticks, 1 Charcoal, and 3 of any of the following (can be mixed): log, stem, stripped log, stripped stem, wood, hyphae, stripped wood, and stripped hyphae.

Place one Stone Brick block and one fuel inside the smelter. Many types of objects can be used as fuel, including most items made of wood, Lava Buckets, and Blaze Rods. Coal or Charcoal are a good choice because they're common and don't require many resources to obtain.

Mining Cracked Stone Bricks

Cracked Stone Bricks can be mined with any pickaxe. These blocks can be generated in strongholds, ocean ruins, igloo basements, ruined portals, and trail ruins. If you mine a cracked stone brick block with anything other than a pickaxe, the block won't drop anything.

Infested Cracked Stone Bricks must be mined with a Silk Touch weapon. Silk Touch is an enchantment for your tools that allows you to get the block themselves instead of their usual drop. You can obtain it from the following places: Enchantment tables Books obtained by fishing Monster room chests Librarian villagers Structure loot (non-village) Certain mob drops in Bedrock Edition

Cracked Stone Brick Uses

Decoration. The main use for cracked stone brick blocks are for decoration. These blocks have no advantages over stone or cobblestone, so the difference is purely aesthetic.
