FAQ
What tool do I need to mine a Polished Blackstone Slab?
A wooden pickaxe or better. Mining it without a pickaxe destroys the block without dropping anything.
Do two slabs make a full block?
Yes. Placing a second slab in the same position combines them into a full, solid, fully opaque polished blackstone double slab.
Can I waterlog a slab?
Yes, a single slab can be waterlogged, letting it hold a source block of water while placed.
Is it affected by Fortune or Silk Touch?
No. It always drops itself as a slab regardless of enchantments, as long as a pickaxe is used.
