Brick Slab

Blocks

Brick Slab — block.

Obtaining

Brick slabs are available from a crafting table or a stonecutter. In the world, a single slab can be mined and collected as one slab; a double slab is treated as two matching slab units when its drop conditions are met.

Data: Obtaining
Crafting route	3 brick blocks produce 6 slabs
Stonecutting route	1 brick block produces 2 slabs
Natural source	Trail ruins can contain brick slabs
Crafting recipe	Brick Slab`brick_slab`

Breaking

Brick slabs are mined most efficiently with a pickaxe. A single slab drops itself; a double slab drops two slab items when the block state is preserved.

Usage

A slab occupies half the height of a standard block.

Brick slabs occupy the lower or upper half of a block space and can be combined into a full double slab. They are waterloggable when placed as a single slab.

Data: Usage
Shape	Slab
Rendering	Isometric preview
Placement	Bottom or top half
Double slab	Two matching slabs combine into one full block
Waterlogging	Single slabs can contain water
Trail ruins	Can generate as part of the structure
Placement state	The top or bottom half is stored separately from the slab material
Collision shape	A single slab is half-height; a double slab fills the block space
Waterlogged state	Single slab can store water

Stonecutting

A stonecutter turns one brick block into two brick slabs without the shaped-recipe conversion. This is the compact one-block route when the full brick block is already available.

Data: Stonecutting
Input	1 brick block
Output	2 brick slabs
