Natural generation[edit]
- Smooth stone slabs generate naturally in strongholds.
- Sandstone slabs generate naturally in desert wells, and desert pyramids.
- Spruce wood slabs generate naturally in igloo basements.
- Oak, birch, spruce, smooth stone and cobblestone slabs generate naturally in woodland mansions.
- Dark oak, cobblestone and mossy cobblestone slabs generate in pillager outpost.
- all wooden slab type can generate in shipwrecks.
- Villages
- Smooth stone, oak and cobblestone slabs generate naturally in plains villages.
- Smooth sandstone and sandstone slabs generate naturally in desert villages.
- Smooth stone and acacia slabs generate naturally in savanna villages.
- Smooth stone and spruce slabs generate naturally in taiga and snowy taiga villages.
Obtaining[edit]
Stone-type slabs and smooth blocks require a pickaxe to mine. Wooden slabs can be mined with anything, but an axe is quickest.

Crafting[edit]
Stonecutting[edit]
Petrified Oak Slabs are the stone-type wooden slabs left from before Java Edition 1.3.1. They are now unobtainable in vanilla survival.
Usage[edit]
Placement[edit]
Slabs can occupy either the top half or the bottom half of a block, or both:
- Placing a slab on top of a block or on the side of a block in the lower half of the side surface creates a bottom slab
- Placing a slab on the underside of a block or on the top half of the side surface creates a top slab
- Placing a top and bottom slab of the same type in the same block creates a double slab block
- It's impossible to place two different kinds of slabs in the same block.
Slabs cannot be oriented vertically.

Behavior[edit]
This section needs updating. Description: fluids after update aquatic behave differently with slabs.
|
Generally, the top face of top slabs, the bottom face of bottom slabs, and all faces of double slabs are handled as solid blocks. Due to this, transparent blocks that need to placed on an opaque surface can be placed on these faces.
Double slabs are handled as a single block instead of two different slabs; as such, breaking one destroys the whole block and drop two slabs, as opposed to breaking only one slab within the block. "Double slabs" that are not aligned to the grid (i.e. a bottom slab on top of a top slab) are handled as separate blocks and are broken individually.
Redstone dust placed on a top slab receives signals from redstone dust one block lower and adjacent, but cannot transmit signals down to that block.
Mobs see a slab as a full block. Mobs can spawn on top slabs and double slabs, but not on bottom slabs. In Bedrock Edition, iron golems do not spawn even on a top slab.[verify]
In Bedrock Edition, mobs standing on bottom slabs with air or another bottom slab below fail to pathfind correctly. They often end up spinning around in a small circle when they try to move.
Due to the way blast rays propagate from an explosion, bottom slabs provide extremely effective absorption to explosions directly on top of them.
Sneaking reduces the player's hitbox height to 1.65 blocks in Bedrock and Legacy Console editions, and so does not allow the player to walk over a bottom slab with one block of air above it, which is 1.5 blocks of space. In Java Edition, however, a crouching player's hitbox is exactly 1.5 blocks, allowing the player to fit through such a gap. A player cannot walk from a block of soul sand directly up to a bottom slab without jumping – this applies not just to soul sand, but to any block 7⁄8 of a block high or shorter, because the maximum step height of the player is 0.6 of a block. The player can walk off a bottom slab while sneaking, because the sneaking prevents falling only when the distance is higher than one half block.
If a slab is placed in a water source block, the empty half of that slab's block is waterlogged. If a top slab is placed in flowing water, a pocket of air is created in the bottom half of the block. In this pocket, the player can breathe and see as clearly as from an air block.
A minecart on powered rails is not repelled by a slab, although it is repelled by a slab with a minecart on top.
Falling block entities (like sand, gravel, and concrete powder) turn into their dropped form if they land on a bottom slab, as when they fall on a torch.
Slabs do not block light in Bedrock Edition.
Fuel[edit]
Wooden slabs can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 0.75 items per slab in the Java Edition and Legacy Console editions, and smelting 1.5 items per slab in Bedrock Edition.
Petrified Oak Slab[edit]
Petrified Oak Slabs are actually stone slabs with the wooden texture, so they have the same hardness as their stone counterparts. Currently, there are no crafting recipes for this special type of slab, and it can be obtained only from the creative inventory or from commands/cheats if a world does not already have any crafted prior to updating to 1.3.

Java Edition Beta | |||||
1.3 | ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||||
The original wooden slabs have to be mined with a pickaxe to collect, were not affected by fire, and had stronger blast resistance than planks, making them a useful building material. On current versions, this slab can be obtained from the Creative inventory or by using commands. The item tooltip now says "Petrified Oak Slab" rather than "Oak Slab". | |||||
Before the additional slabs were added, a double stone slab would yield only one slab when broken. Since this update, all double slabs now yield 2 of their respective single slabs when broken. Destroying double slabs with TNT, however, still yields only single slabs (when the slabs aren't simply destroyed by the explosion). | |||||
Before Beta 1.3 came out, stone slabs were made with cobblestone instead of stone, but this update has now introduced cobblestone slabs to the game and changed the recipes for pressure plates and stone slabs, so that there wouldn't be any conflicting recipes. | |||||

Issues[edit]
Issues relating to "Slab" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia[edit]
- Any light directed through a slab does not affect any block's light values north of the source.
- Whereas 1×1 dents in a flat floor using slabs are darkened as one would expect, 1×1 dents created using 2×1 or 2×2 stairs darken less, due to having fewer surrounding solid blocks.[3]
- When water or lava are on top of an upside-down slab, the water dripping particles appear in midair below the slab instead of from the slab itself, this was fixed in Java Edition 1.13-pre7[4], but is an intentional feature in Bedrock Edition.[5]
