Alternative: use a Stonecutter
Place 1 Cinnabar into a Stonecutter to obtain 1 Chiseled Cinnabar in a direct 1:1 conversion, skipping the slab step entirely. In Bedrock Edition, 1 Polished Cinnabar or 1 Cinnabar Brick also works as a Stonecutter input.

How do you craft Chiseled Cinnabar?
Chiseled Cinnabar is crafted by placing 2 Cinnabar Slabs vertically in the center column of a crafting table — one in the upper-center slot and one in the middle-center slot — yielding 1 Chiseled Cinnabar.
What is the difference between Chiseled Cinnabar and regular Cinnabar?
Chiseled Cinnabar features a carved relief pattern on all 4 side faces, giving it a temple-tile appearance. Regular Cinnabar has no carving. Chiseled Cinnabar is purely decorative and does not have different blast resistance or hardness.
Can you make Chiseled Cinnabar in a Stonecutter?
Yes. Placing 1 Cinnabar into a Stonecutter yields 1 Chiseled Cinnabar in a 1:1 conversion. In Bedrock Edition, Polished Cinnabar and Cinnabar Bricks are accepted as Stonecutter inputs too; Java Edition accepts only raw Cinnabar.
What Minecraft version added Chiseled Cinnabar?
Chiseled Cinnabar was introduced in Minecraft 26.2 "Chaos Cubed" on Java Edition, and became part of vanilla Bedrock Edition in 26.30 after starting as an experimental feature.
What blocks can be used to make Chiseled Cinnabar via stonecutter?
In both editions, 1 Cinnabar converts to 1 Chiseled Cinnabar in the Stonecutter. Polished Cinnabar and Cinnabar Bricks are accepted as Stonecutter inputs only in Bedrock Edition.
