Blackstone Slab
minecraft:blackstone_slabBlackstone Slab is a decorative half-height variant of blackstone that generates naturally in bastion remnants. It behaves like a stone slab, letting two placed together form a full double slab, and it is waterloggable for use in Nether builds near lava or water.
Uses
- Building & Decoration — Used purely as a construction material for half-height steps, floors, and detailing in Nether-themed builds; stacks two slabs to form a full blackstone block visually.
Found In
- Bastion Remnants — Generates naturally as flooring and detail trim throughout bastion structures in the Nether.
- Crafted or cut — Craft 3 blackstone into 6 slabs, or cut 1 blackstone into 2 slabs with a stonecutter.
Drops
FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Blackstone Slab?
A wooden pickaxe or better. Mining it without any pickaxe destroys the block with no drop.
Is Blackstone Slab affected by Fortune or Silk Touch?
No. It always drops itself as a single slab regardless of enchantments.
How do I get Blackstone Slab without visiting the Nether?
Barter gold ingots with piglins for a chance at 8–16 blackstone, then craft or cut it into slabs.
Can I combine two slabs into a full block?
Yes. Placing a second slab on top of an existing slab (or using two in a crafting grid) forms a full blackstone block visually indistinguishable from the original.
