Description

Cobbled Deepslate Stairs are the stair variant of cobbled deepslate, a dark stone family added to Minecraft in Java Edition 1.17 and Bedrock Edition 1.17.0. Six cobbled deepslate blocks in a stair-shaped recipe yield four stair blocks, and a stonecutter converts one cobbled deepslate into one stair the same way. Ancient cities generate Cobbled Deepslate Stairs as structural parts, so explorers mine finished staircases on site. Cobbled Deepslate Stairs break with any pickaxe, drop nothing without one, measure 3.5 hardness and 6 blast resistance, and neither burn nor break in lava.

Cobbled Deepslate Stairs cap walls, line amphitheater rows, and soften the edges of deepslate towers with a chipped, dark profile. A water source can share each stair block's space (waterlogging), which suits flooded ruins and underwater stairwells. The same cobbled deepslate stock cuts into slabs, walls, and chiseled deepslate at a stonecutter, so one mining trip outfits a whole deepslate build. Deepslate reserves never renew, so every staircase permanently spends stone mined somewhere in the world.

Guide

How to Get Cobbled Deepslate Stairs in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Collect cobbled deepslate

    Mine deepslate with a pickaxe that carries no Silk Touch enchantment; deepslate broken this way drops cobbled deepslate.

  2. 2

    Lay out the stair pattern

    Place six cobbled deepslate blocks in a stair shape: three down the left column, two in the middle column below the top row, and one in the bottom-right corner. The recipe outputs four Cobbled Deepslate Stairs.

  3. 3

    Cut stairs at a stonecutter

    A stonecutter turns one cobbled deepslate block into one Cobbled Deepslate Stairs, spending one block per stair instead of one and a half.

  4. 4

    Mine stairs in ancient cities

    Ancient cities generate Cobbled Deepslate Stairs naturally; any pickaxe removes a placed stair, and mining without a pickaxe drops nothing.

Waterlogged stairwells keep their shape

Cobbled Deepslate Stairs accept a water source inside the stair block (waterlogging), so underwater bases keep staircases intact.
