Hello,
I have noticed that you are unable to smelt stone mined using a silk touch pickaxe into smooth stone. Once I placed the blocks and mined them using a regular pick, then smelted the resulting cobble into the regular stone, I was able to smelt them again into the smooth stone.

Hello Ionic,
Do you mean Java 1.13 or Bedrock 1.13? I know I started playing on this world since just after the Update Aquatic. I've been playing on this world pretty regularly but I'm not sure how old the stone is. I mined some stone with silk touch recently due to my regular pickaxe being about to break but I can't remember if I kept that stone or trashed it. I'm going to see if I can replicate the issue.
Bedrock.
It happened after Aquatic (from memory it was the patch with Foxes) so this is likely the cause. See how you go reproducing it.
Update: It appears that the stone I tried to smelt was in fact old from before 1.13. I silk touched more stone and it smelted fine. It would also explain why others on the world had some of their stone smelt and some of it not. They assumed that the furnaces were bugged, not the stone. Thanks for your help!
Hi Taylor,
Is this an old world you started playing again? There was a transient issue that caused some mined stone from pre 1.13 (I think?) to not smelt in 1.13 but its no longer an issue to my knowledge.
If this is old stone I think you'll find it doesn't happen to anything new.
