What does a grindstone do in Minecraft?
A grinding wheel is a crafting block that can be used to repair items with another item of the same type; for example, to repair a diamond sword, you will need to use another diamond sword. Using a grindstone will also consume both elements in the process, creating a whole new one with the combined durability of both elements; the new item will also have a five percent plus to the maximum durability of that item type.
