Stone Slab block in Minecraft
The Stone Slab is plain smooth-faced stone cut into a slab. Its material is Stone, so it keeps that block's look and toughness. All slabs, stairs and walls work alike, as the Stone Slab, Stone Stairs and Cobblestone Wall pages explain; the Stone page covers the material.
It is made with the Crafting Table from 3 × Stone (other recipes also exist). It is mined with a pickaxe.
What it does
A slab fills half of a block space. Placed against the lower half of a face it sits at the bottom, against the upper half it hangs at the top, and a second identical slab clicked into the same space merges into a full double slab. You walk up a bottom slab without jumping, and hostile mobs cannot spawn on bottom slabs, which makes them a classic flooring for safe areas.
Three blocks in a row make six slabs, and a Stonecutter cuts one block into two. A single slab can also hold water, handy for decorative pools and aquariums.
