They can spawn on top slabs and double slabs, but not on bottom slabs.

Mobs see a slab as a full block when pathfinding. Without a hopper attached below, a bottom slab behaves as a solid surface.įalling 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. The empty half of a slab block is also transparent to mobs, unlike other transparent blocks such as fences and glass, which players can see through but mobs cannot.Ī bottom placed on top of a hopper is transparent to items the items fall through the bottom slab into the hopper. In Bedrock Edition a single slab (top or bottom) is transparent to light, while a double slab is opaque. Slabs do not block a vertical redstone connection as it is a transparent block. It is impossible to place two different kinds of slabs in the same block.Īn example of how top slabs can make redstone travel compactly "up stairs".Placing a top and bottom slab of the same type in the same block creates a double slab block.Placing a slab on the underside of a block or on the top half of the side surface creates a top slab.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.Slabs can occupy either the top half or the bottom half of a block, or both: Blackstone, polished blackstone, and polished blackstone brick slabs generate in ruined portals in the Nether.Stone, stone brick, and mossy stone brick slabs generate in ruined portals in the Overworld.Smooth stone and spruce slabs generate naturally in taiga and snowy taiga villages.Smooth stone and acacia slabs generate naturally in savanna villages.Smooth sandstone and sandstone slabs generate naturally in desert villages.Smooth stone, oak and cobblestone slabs generate naturally in plains villages.Smooth stone slabs, brick slabs and mud brick slabs generate in trail ruins.Deepslate brick, deepslate tile, cobbled deepslate and polished deepslate slabs generate naturally in ancient cities.Purpur slabs generate naturally in end cities.Blackstone and quartz slabs generate in bastion remnants.Oak, birch, spruce, jungle, acacia, and dark oak slabs can generate in shipwrecks.Dark oak, cobblestone and mossy cobblestone slabs generate in pillager outpost.Oak, birch, spruce, smooth stone and cobblestone slabs generate naturally in woodland mansions.Spruce slabs generate naturally in igloo basements.Sandstone slabs generate naturally in desert wells and desert pyramids.Smooth stone slabs and stone brick slabs generate naturally in strongholds.They are now unobtainable in vanilla survival. Petrified oak slabs are the stone-type wooden slabs left from before Java Edition 1.3.1. Unlike stairs, many stone-type slabs have different hardness values (and thus, breaking time) compared to their full-block counterparts.

Wooden slabs can be mined with anything, but an axe is quickest. Cut copper slabs require at least a stone pickaxe. Stone-type slabs require a pickaxe to mine.
