Red Sandstone Stairs
minecraft:red_sandstone_stairsRed Sandstone Stairs are a decorative stepped variant of red sandstone that does not generate naturally. They connect into slopes and corners like any other stairs block, letting players build stepped structures matching red sandstone builds.

Found In

FAQ
Do Red Sandstone Stairs generate naturally?
No. They only exist as a crafted or stonecut block; they do not generate anywhere in the world.
What tool do I need to mine them?
At least a wooden pickaxe. Mining without one breaks the block with no drop.
Does Fortune or Silk Touch change the drop?
No. They always drop exactly one Red Sandstone Stairs block regardless of enchantments.
Can I make Red Sandstone Stairs faster than crafting?
Yes, a stonecutter converts Red Sandstone into stairs 1:1 with no material loss, versus the six-for-four crafting ratio.
