Description

Cinnabar Brick Stairs are the staircase variant of Cinnabar Bricks introduced in Minecraft 26.2 "Chaos Cubed" for sloped transitions. Cinnabar Brick Stairs craft from six Cinnabar Bricks arranged in a staircase pattern on the crafting table, yielding four stairs per cycle, or one stair per Cinnabar Brick at the stonecutter. Cinnabar Brick Stairs auto-connect with adjacent stair blocks to form smooth outer and inner corners. Cinnabar Brick Stairs accept all four facing directions and support upside-down placement for hanging ledges. Cinnabar Brick Stairs work well for temple approaches, sloped rooftops, and tiered platforms in the Sulfur Caves biome.
