Description

Mossy Stone Brick Stairs are the stairs variant of Mossy Stone Bricks, a building block family used for construction. Six Mossy Stone Bricks craft into four Mossy Stone Brick Stairs, and a stonecutter cuts one brick into one stair. Mossy Stone Brick Stairs also generate naturally as part of ruined portals in the Overworld. Any pickaxe, even a wooden pickaxe, harvests Mossy Stone Brick Stairs.

Mossy Stone Brick Stairs give ruins and portal builds a weathered, overgrown character: the mossy texture matches Mossy Stone Bricks, so stairs and full blocks form one distressed surface. Naturally generated ruined portals across the Overworld show the pairing in place. Builders collect Mossy Stone Brick Stairs with a wooden pickaxe for reuse in new constructions.

    One crafting batch of Mossy Stone Brick Stairs requires six Mossy Stone Bricks.

  2. 2

    Place the bricks in a staircase pattern

  3. 3

    Cut bricks one-for-one in a stonecutter

    A stonecutter cuts mossy stone bricks into mossy stone brick stairs one at a time, with no crafting pattern needed.
