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.
