Description

Mud Brick Slab is the decorative half-height block of the mud brick family, added to Minecraft in the 1.19 Wild Update. Placing three Mud Bricks in one row on a crafting table yields six Mud Brick Slabs, and a stonecutter turns one Mud Brick into two slabs at the same ratio. Mud Brick Slab also generates naturally inside trail ruins, the buried structures of forested biomes such as taiga and jungle. A wooden pickaxe or any better pickaxe breaks Mud Brick Slab, and mining without a pickaxe drops nothing. Mud Brick Slab has a hardness of 1.5, a blast resistance of 3, never burns, never catches fire from lava, and can be waterlogged.

Mud Brick Slab works as the floor and trim piece of mud brick construction: two identical slabs merge into one full double slab, and alternating slabs with full Mud Bricks builds paneled floors, windowsills, and countertop edges. The mud brick chain is fully renewable — one Mud plus one Wheat crafts Packed Mud, and four Packed Mud crafts four Mud Bricks — so Mud Brick Slab production never exhausts the map. Mud Brick Slab stacks to 64 and accepts waterlogging for fountains and canals, and the earthy tone of the mud brick family suits desert outposts and village-style builds.

Guide

How to get Mud Brick Slab in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft Mud Bricks from packed mud

    Craft four Packed Mud in a 2×2 grid into four Mud Bricks; one Packed Mud takes one Mud and one Wheat.

  2. 2

    Craft six slabs at the crafting table

    Place three Mud Bricks in one horizontal row on a crafting table to receive six Mud Brick Slabs.

  3. 3

    Cut single bricks on a stonecutter

    A stonecutter turns one Mud Brick into two Mud Brick Slabs at the same two-per-brick ratio as the crafting table.

  4. 4

    Search trail ruins with a pickaxe

    Mud Brick Slab generates inside trail ruins, buried in taiga, snowy taiga, old growth taiga, old growth birch forest, and jungle biomes. Break Mud Brick Slab with any pickaxe, because mining without a pickaxe drops nothing.

Double slab tip

Two Mud Brick Slabs placed in the same block space merge into one full-height double slab. Mud Brick Slab can be waterlogged, so earthen floors keep their look inside fountains and canals.
