For me the way you get regular stone and cobblestone is weird. Let's say I go into a mine and dig out a bit of stone, and wow it magically turns into a cool textured cobblestone!
And I put cobblestone in a furnace and now I get real stone, when I should have had it when I mined it.
I think the way you get cobble and stone should be swapped
Mine Stone = Regular stone
Smelted Stone = Cobblestone
When you mine stone, it gets all broken up in the process, turning it into cobblestone. When you smelt it, the heat fuses it all back together into a single stone.
It makes sense because you can expect that smashing anything with a pickaxe in a short time will give you something crushed.
With the furnace you melt the rock chunks and re-craft it into stone.
To me it makes sense because when you mine the stone, it breaks into pieces. The cobble texture demonstrates that.
This is correct.

Hypothetical: You read a thread in the Suggestions forum. You suddenly realize you've seen the idea before. Maybe it's a duplicate? No. Maybe it's just you? No. Maybe it's been done already? Very likely: Click here if there's a mod for that.
Cobble stone is basicly a bunch of rocks cobbled together, hence the name cobblestone. When you mine stone, you break it apart, and it becomes cobblestone. You can melt the cobblestone back into a single stone in a furnace.
I think this makes more sense then mine some stone, put it in a furnace, and it breaks into a bunch of smaller rocks.
It's an opinion, and it still doesn't make sense because if you mined stone with a pick it would more resemble gravel and would not be cohesive as cobblestone is. Maybe if you grabbed the products of the mining (gravel) and mashed it together with mortar or mud then it would begin to resemble cobblestone.

Lmao I'm the only person with the dissenting opinion, as usual
When you mine stone it should turn into gravel, which can then be turned into smooth stone, cobblestone, stone slabs, concrete, cement, lava, etc.

It would actually resemble cobblestone, since you use a pick by jamming it into rock and jiggling it to break the rock up. The whole thing is moot, though, since you hit planks with an axe and get something other than wood chips.
Breaking stone up with a pick in order to make cobble makes sense, since the rock is being smashed into bits. Those bits get reassembled in order to make cobble. However melting bits of rock back into one uniform, solid chunk makes no sense to me. Melting pieces of metal together would make sense, but not rock. Unless a basic furnace can reproduce the same kind of extreme heat and pressure that creates new bodies of rock deep below the earth's surface, I see no way for smelting cobble to make sense.
What if we had another tool type? We have flint and steel. Why not add hammer and chisel? with a hammer and chisel, a player could precisely chisel out a uniform block of stone without smashing it to bits. This way, we wouldn't have to spend time and fuel "smelting" stone chunks back into solid blocks of an otherwise common resource. Want cobble? use a pick. Want smooth stone? Use a hammer and chisel.

Makes sense + =
Um, no, that doesn't...?
See? Makes sense.
That makes perfect sense
Mmm, sheep spongecake.
makes sense?

Do you understand?
