Guide
How to place and use Bamboo Stairs in Minecraft
-
1
Craft four stairs
Six Bamboo Planks arranged on a Crafting Table in a staircase shape of one, two, and three planks per row make four Bamboo Stairs, and the mirrored shape works too.
-
2
Place right side up
Bamboo Stairs placed against the top of a block or the lower half of a block's side stand right side up.
-
3
Place upside-down
Bamboo Stairs placed against the bottom of a block or the upper half of a block's side hang upside-down.
-
4
Join stairs into corners
Bamboo Stairs join adjacent stairs of any material into inner and outer corners, but right-side-up stairs never join upside-down stairs.
-
5
Break with an axe
An axe breaks Bamboo Stairs fastest, and broken Bamboo Stairs drop as an item.
In Java Edition, the full-block faces of Bamboo Stairs block light, and the stepped gaps let light through.

Frequently asked questions
Can Bamboo Stairs be made at a Stonecutter?
No. A Stonecutter makes stone, brick, quartz, copper, and concrete stairs, but not bamboo, wooden, or wool stairs, so Bamboo Stairs are crafted on a Crafting Table.
Which Minecraft version added Bamboo Stairs?
Bamboo Stairs became available in Java Edition 1.20 and in Bedrock Edition 1.20.0. Before those versions, Bamboo Stairs existed only behind an experimental data pack in Java Edition and an experimental toggle in Bedrock Edition.
Can Bamboo Stairs be waterlogged?
Yes. Bamboo Stairs are waterloggable, so water and the stairs occupy the same space.
Does walking up Bamboo Stairs make the player hungry?
No. Walking up Bamboo Stairs costs no exhaustion from the hunger bar, while each jump costs 0.2 exhaustion.
How do Bamboo Stairs differ from Bamboo Mosaic Stairs?
Bamboo Mosaic Stairs are a separate block crafted from Bamboo Mosaic instead of Bamboo Planks, and both recipes turn six blocks into four stairs.
