Slabs are crafted by the player. They are as half high as their full block counterparts. Players can walk on a slab without needing to jump. Slabs can be used to create long staircases. Two slabs of the same material can be built into full blocks by building them over each other. Can be used as thin wall/fence when rotated using screwdriver.

Special slabs

• The mossy cobblestone slab can not be crafted. A mossy cobblestone slab is created when a cobblestone slab is next to water (or river water or any other similar block) for a while
• Ice slabs and snow block slabs extinguish fire nearby

Crafting
