How to Make Deepslate Brick Slab in Minecraft
Deepslate Brick Slab
Deepslate Brick Slab is a half-height building block crafted from Deepslate Bricks and generated in ancient cities, used for layered floors and stair treads.

Deepslate Brick Slab must be mined with a pickaxe — a wooden pickaxe already qualifies — and drops nothing when broken without a pickaxe. Waterlogging lets a placed Deepslate Brick Slab share its block space with a water source. Deepslate Brick Slab is not renewable, not flammable and stacks to 64 per inventory slot. With hardness 3.5 and blast resistance 6, Deepslate Brick Slab suits survival bases that need smooth layered floors and stairs.
