Obtaining

Breaking

Wood stairs drop themselves as items when broken with any tool, or with no tool, but an axe is fastest. Non-wood stairs drop themselves as items only if broken with a pickaxe.

Crafting

Wood stairs must be crafted entirely from one type and color of wood, and they retain the style of that wood's type and color.

Usage

Placement

Stairs Reconfiguration — Left: Original facing when separate. Right: Changed shape when adjacent (top: inner corner; bottom: outer corner).

To place stairs, use a stairs item while pointing at a surface facing the space the stairs should occupy. When placed, a stair orients itself with the half-block side closest to the player.

Stairs can be placed either right side up or upside-down:

• Pointing at a block top or the bottom half of a block side places the stairs right side up.
• Pointing at a block bottom or the top half of a block side places the stairs upside-down.

Stairs change their shape to join with adjacent stairs (of any material):

• When a stairs' half-block side is adjacent to the side of another stairs, the stairs' full-block side wraps into an "L" shape to join the other stairs (it creates an "inner corner").
• When a stairs' full-block side is adjacent to the side of another stairs, the stairs' full-block side shortens to join the other stairs' full-block side (it creates an "outer corner").

Right side up stairs do not join with upside-down stairs and vice versa.

Walking

Walking up stairs is faster than jumping up the same distance. It also costs 0.01 exhaustion from the player's hunger bar per horizontal meter walked on a stairway, versus 0.2 exhaustion per jump.

Behavior

Generally, the solid faces of stairs are handled as solid blocks. Due to this, transparent blocks that need to placed on an opaque surface can be placed on these faces.

Fuel

Wooden stairs can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

History

Java Edition Infdev
20100629					Added oak wood stairs and "stone" stairs.
					Wooden stairs currently do not burn.
					Both icon textures for stairs in the inventory are simply flat planks and cobblestone textures.
Java Edition Alpha
v1.0.1					Stair inventory textures have been changed to a solid two step texture, which are currently glitched.
v1.2.0		?			Before this version, stairs would determine their orientation based on the surrounding blocks (changing if they were changed). They now attempt to face a block adjacent to the stairs, so as to create a climbable surface toward that block.
v1.2.2					Stairs now have the odd property of being transparent to light; when placed one or more spaces above the ground with air beneath, sunlight or other light sources now shine through and light the blocks beneath or behind the stairs exactly as if nothing opaque are present between them.
					Other atmospheric effects such as snowfall do not penetrate stair blocks, making them an unusually effective material for creating roofing that kept weather out, but still let daylight in.
					Snow cannot accumulate on top of stair blocks, grass is able to grow on the block directly underneath a stair block, and grass disappears if a stair block was placed on top of it. Any stair block placed in Alpha v1.2.0_02 to Beta 1.5 would keep this property in later versions until it or an adjacent block is changed or removed, causing a lighting update.
Java Edition Beta
1.0					Items have been given in-game names. The two types of stairs have been named "Wooden Stairs" and "Stone Stairs", respectively.
1.6		Test Build 3			Wooden stairs and fences are now flammable.

		15w31a			Added purpur stairs.
					Stairs are now rotated 90° in the inventory.
		15w43a			Spruce wood stairs acting as corners of a table now generate within igloo basements.
1.11		16w39a			Oak, birch and dark oak wood stairs and cobblestone stairs now generate in woodland mansions.
1.12		17w15a			Torches can now be placed on the full-block sides of stairs.
