What does a grindstone do, and how does it work?
A grindstone in Minecraft is a block used to repair damaged items or remove enchantments (disenchantment).
Check out this video showing you exactly how to make a grindstone:
To use a grindstone, players must first place it on the ground and then right-click on it. This will open a prompt with two slots – one for the item to be repaired or enchanted and one for an optional second item. It will be fixed if the item in the left slot is damaged. If the item in the left slot is not damaged, any enchantments on it will be removed, and the experience will be returned to the player. Enchantments can also be removed from all items in the grindstone’s inventory by shift-clicking the ‘clear’ button. Grindstones can be found naturally in village mason houses.
How do you make a grindstone?
To make a grindstone, you must follow the recipe and gather materials: two blocks of obsidian, four blocks of cobblestone, one furnace, and one piece of flint. First, place the obsidian blocks on the ground to form a square. Then, place the cobblestone blocks around the obsidian to create a frame.

Next, place the furnace in the center of the frame. Finally, add the flint to the furnace. When you put all the materials in the correct positions, right-click on the furnace with an empty hand to create your grindstone.
Once you have created your grindstone, you can use it by right-clicking on it with the item you wish to repair or enchant in your hand. An enchantment table can be used to keep your tool’s total durability. However, using a grindstone will give you a better chance of keeping your original enchantments when applying new ones.
What is the difference between a grindstone and an anvil?
A grindstone repairs items & disenchants items in Minecraft.
A grindstone is a block that players can use to repair items. To use a grindstone, players must place the item they wish to repair on the left slot of the grindstone and then click on the right slot. Doing so will remove any enchantments on the item and turn it into damaged equipment.
Minecraft anvils can repair, rename, and enchant but not disenchant.
You can also repair items with an anvil, but it also allows you to rename them. Additionally, anvils can be leveraged to combine or enchant two items with powerful capabilities.
