Description

Cherry Slab is the half-height form of Cherry Planks, crafted by placing three Cherry Planks in one row of a Crafting Table, which produces six slabs. Cherry Slab is a renewable wooden block that stacks to 64 and breaks fastest with an axe, although any tool or bare hands also work, and Java Edition 1.20 and Bedrock Edition 1.20.0 added Cherry Slab to the game.

A single Cherry Slab fills the bottom or top half of a block space, and a bottom slab together with a top slab of the same wood forms a double slab. In a Furnace, Cherry Slab smelts 0.75 items per slab in Java Edition and 1.5 items in Bedrock Edition. Wooden slabs also go into the recipes of the Barrel, the Lectern, and the Chiseled Bookshelf.

Guide

How to craft and place Cherry Slab in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Collect three Cherry Planks

    Cherry Planks are the ingredient of the recipe, and each craft needs three of them.

  2. 2

    Fill one row of the Crafting Table

    Cherry Planks go into all three cells of one row of the 3×3 grid, and six Cherry Slabs appear on the right.

  3. 3

    Place the slab on the half you want

    A right-click on the lower half of a block side places a bottom Cherry Slab, and a right-click on the upper half places a top Cherry Slab.

  4. 4

    Combine two slabs into a double slab

    A second Cherry Slab placed in the same block space forms a double slab with the first, which is a full block.

Slab above a Hopper

A bottom Cherry Slab on top of a Hopper lets items fall through into the Hopper, while without a Hopper below the slab acts as a solid surface.

Frequently asked questions

Can Cherry Slab be waterlogged?

Yes. A single Cherry Slab placed in a water source, or hit with water from a Water Bucket, fills its empty half with water.

Can mobs spawn on Cherry Slab?

Mobs spawn on top slabs and double slabs but not on bottom slabs, so bottom Cherry Slabs can block spawning in mob farms.

How many slabs drop from a double Cherry Slab?

A broken double Cherry Slab drops two Cherry Slabs.

Does Cherry Slab burn?

Yes. Cherry Slab is flammable and catches fire from lava.
