How to Make Deepslate Brick Stairs in Minecraft
Deepslate Brick Stairs
Deepslate Brick Stairs build smooth slopes and staircases in deepslate-themed projects, crafted from 6 deepslate bricks into 4 stair blocks and mined with any pickaxe.
Description
Builders use Deepslate Brick Stairs for staircases, ledges, and smooth slopes in deepslate and ancient-city-style projects, with every placement following the standard Minecraft stairs mechanics. Neither fire nor lava ignites Deepslate Brick Stairs, so a finished staircase survives contact with lava. A single stack holds 64 stair blocks, and the non-renewable status of Deepslate Brick Stairs means each build needs freshly mined or crafted materials. Ancient cities also contain ready-made Deepslate Brick Stairs, so exploring one structure can replace a crafting session.

Guide
How to Craft Deepslate Brick Stairs in Minecraft
-
1
Collect deepslate bricks
Mine deepslate bricks inside an ancient city, or craft deepslate bricks from polished deepslate at a crafting table, until at least 6 bricks sit in the inventory.
-
2
Open a crafting table
Click a crafting table to open the 3x3 crafting grid used by the stair recipe.
-
3
Place 6 bricks in the stair pattern
Arrange deepslate bricks in the stair pattern: one brick in the top row, two bricks in the middle row, and three bricks in the bottom row of the grid.
-
4
Take the 4 stairs from the output
Collect 4 Deepslate Brick Stairs from the result slot and repeat the recipe until the build has enough stair blocks.
-
5
Cut stairs with a stonecutter instead
Put cobbled deepslate, polished deepslate, deepslate bricks, or deepslate into a stonecutter to cut single Deepslate Brick Stairs without the 6-brick pattern.
Deepslate Brick Stairs are waterloggable (a water source can occupy the same block as the stair), so pools and canals keep clean stair edges.
