Description

Mossy Cobblestone Stairs are the stair variant of mossy cobblestone, and they generate as part of pillager outposts. Any pickaxe mines Mossy Cobblestone Stairs, and without a pickaxe nothing drops. Java Edition added Mossy Cobblestone Stairs in 1.14, Bedrock Edition has had them since 1.9.0, and a stack holds 64 items.

Six mossy cobblestone in the staircase pattern on a crafting grid give four Mossy Cobblestone Stairs, and the recipe can be flipped horizontally. A stonecutter turns one mossy cobblestone into one Mossy Cobblestone Stairs, which costs fewer blocks per stair than crafting. Mossy Cobblestone Stairs put the half-block side closest to the player on placement, join neighboring stairs of any material into inner and outer corners, and keep their full-block faces solid for placing blocks that need an opaque surface.

Guide

How to build with Mossy Cobblestone Stairs in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft from six blocks

    A crafting table accepts six mossy cobblestone in a staircase shape, three in the left column, two in the middle column and one in the right column, and returns four Mossy Cobblestone Stairs.

  2. 2

    Cut one to one

    A stonecutter turns one mossy cobblestone into one Mossy Cobblestone Stairs, so six blocks yield six stairs instead of four.

  3. 3

    Place right side up or upside down

    Mossy Cobblestone Stairs stand right side up when the cursor points at the top of a block or the bottom half of a block side, and upside down when the cursor points at a block bottom or the top half of a block side.

  4. 4

    Join the corners

    Mossy Cobblestone Stairs placed next to other stairs reshape into inner or outer corners, but right side up and upside-down stairs do not join each other.

  5. 5

    Mine with a pickaxe

    Any pickaxe mines Mossy Cobblestone Stairs, and the stairs drop as themselves, while mining without a pickaxe drops nothing.

Light through the gaps

In Java Edition, the full-block faces of Mossy Cobblestone Stairs block light, while the non-full faces let light through the gaps.
