About this Mod

Grindstone Is Made Of Stone (Fabric)
If you ask anybody what a grindstone is, they will usually tell you that it's a sharpening stone used for grinding tools. A more meticulous person might even add that they are usually made of sandstone¹, not just any stone.
However, Mojang, also known as The Biggest Consistency™ Fan out there, decided to set the grindstone's material to the same one they use for the anvil. While this might not seem like a big deal at first glance, it actually is when you remember that anvils cannot be pushed by pistons. Thus, it's impossible to move a grindstone via a piston too, unlike any other workstation. Yet another win for consistency! Hip hip hooray!
This small mod fixes this inconsistency by changing the grindstone's material to stone.
