Prismarine Stairs

Blocks

Prismarine Stairs — block.

Obtaining

Prismarine stairs do not generate as a separate natural feature. They are made from prismarine or cut from it in a stonecutter, so ocean monuments and prismarine blocks are the normal material source.

History

Prismarine stairs were introduced with the ocean monument building set. Their texture was refreshed with the wider prismarine texture update, while the stair recipe and waterlogging behavior remained part of the same building family.

Trivia

The animated cracks are inherited from prismarine itself, so a stair roof can change colour even when the surrounding blocks are static.
