About Polished Blackstone Slab

The Polished Blackstone Slab is a building block, the half-size version of polished blackstone. It gives builds a dark, smooth stone look with a slightly glossy finish, and it works well for floors, roofs, and detailed trim.

Key facts:

  • Can be placed as a lower or upper half, or combined with another slab to form a full block.
  • Like other slabs, it can be waterlogged.
  • Purely decorative; it does not emit light or interact with redstone.

How to get Polished Blackstone Slab

You can craft six slabs from three polished blackstone arranged in a crafting row. The more efficient route is a stonecutter, where one polished blackstone gives two slabs, and you can cut them straight from regular blackstone as well. Polished blackstone itself comes from blackstone in a 2x2 grid or through the stonecutter, so blackstone from the Nether is the raw material you need.
