About Smooth Sandstone Slab

Smooth Sandstone Slab is a decorative half-height block with the same clean, pale texture as smooth sandstone. It is mostly used for building, where it suits paths, shallow steps, shelves, and fine trim.

Like other slabs, it can be placed in the upper or lower half of a block space. Two slabs placed in the same space merge into a full-size double slab. It has no interactive or redstone behavior, so it is all about looks.

Key facts:

  • Stackable up to 64.
  • Purely decorative, with no redstone response.
  • Can be waterlogged like other slabs.

How to get Smooth Sandstone Slab

You get Smooth Sandstone Slabs by crafting: place three smooth sandstone blocks in a horizontal row to make six slabs. A stonecutter also works, turning one smooth sandstone into two slabs, which is handy when you only need a small batch.

Smooth sandstone itself comes from smelting sandstone in a furnace. That means the full chain is sand, sandstone, smooth sandstone, then slabs. You will not find these slabs in chest loot, so plan to make them yourself.
