Purpur Slab

Blocks

Purpur Slab — block.

Obtaining

A purpur slab generates in End cities and end ships, can be crafted from any purpur block or purpur pillar, and can be cut from a purpur block in a stonecutter. It is the single-slab form of the purpur family and is renewable through chorus-fruit processing chains.

Data: Obtaining
Natural source	End cities and end ships
Crafting input	Purpur block or purpur pillar
Stonecutter input	1 purpur block
Crafting output	6 slabs
Stonecutter output	2 slabs

Breaking

Purpur slabs drop themselves when mined with any pickaxe. The double state drops two slabs, while the single top or bottom state drops one; mining without the correct tool gives no normal item drop.

Correct tool	Any pickaxe
Single slab drop	1 purpur slab
Double slab drop	2 purpur slabs
Wrong tool	No normal drop

Natural generation

Purpur slabs generate as floors, roofs and platforms in End cities and on their end ships. They share the same purple building family as purpur blocks, pillars and stairs.

Ingredients match the published snapshot.

Usage

A slab occupies half the height of a standard block.

Purpur slabs are used as compact building pieces and as ingredients for purpur-family recipes. The block state distinguishes a bottom half, top half, and double slab; waterlogging is supported for the single-half states.

Data: Usage
Shape	Slab
Rendering	Isometric preview
Half state	Bottom or top
Double state	Full purpur block shape
Waterlogging	Supported for single slabs
Building family	Purpur block, pillar and stairs

Stonecutting

A stonecutter turns one purpur block into two purpur slabs without the shaped recipe.

Data: Stonecutting
Input	1 purpur block
Output	2 purpur slabs

Sounds

The purpur slab uses the stone sound set for breaking, stepping, placing, hitting and falling. Its sound family matches the full purpur block and pillar rather than a wood or glass family.

Sound group	Stone
Break	block.stone.break
Place	block.stone.place
Step	block.stone.step

Behavior

The `type` state selects `bottom`, `top`, or `double`. A double slab is rendered as a full purpur block, while a single slab occupies half a block and can be waterlogged.

Data values

The block uses `minecraft:purpur_slab`, belongs to the slab and mineable/pickaxe tags, and keeps a stack size of 64. Its Java block properties use hardness 2.0, blast resistance 6.0 and a base-drum note-block instrument.

History

Purpur slabs arrived with End cities and later received their current shaped recipe from purpur blocks or pillars. The Java block-state model keeps the old double-slab identity unified with the single `purpur_slab` identifier.

Data: History
Introduction	End city building family
Recipe	Three purpur blocks or pillars → six slabs
Current state	bottom, top or double
Data migration	Double form shares the purpur_slab identifier
