About the Birch Slab
The Birch Slab is a wooden half-block made from birch planks. It is useful for floors, walkways, roofs, and detailed building work where a full block would feel too heavy.
- Occupies the top or bottom half of a block space, depending on where you aim.
- Two matching slabs placed in the same space form a full double slab.
- As a wooden block, it can burn and is quickest to break with an axe.
Slabs can be placed in water, which makes them handy for submerged paths and builds.
How to get the Birch Slab
You get Birch Slabs by crafting them. Place three Birch Planks in a horizontal row in the crafting grid, and you will receive six slabs. This works in your personal crafting grid and in a crafting table, so you can make them quickly once you have birch wood.
