Description

Prismarine Brick Stairs are a decorative stair variant of prismarine bricks that never generates naturally, so every piece is player-made. A crafting table turns six prismarine bricks arranged in a stair pattern into four Prismarine Brick Stairs, and a stonecutter converts one prismarine brick into one stair. Any pickaxe, even a wooden one, breaks Prismarine Brick Stairs properly. Prismarine Brick Stairs are a renewable resource (obtainable without limit) and stack to 64.

Builders use Prismarine Brick Stairs wherever a prismarine-brick build needs a matching slope: ocean-monument restorations, flooded temple entrances, aquarium walkways. The shared prismarine brick texture lets a staircase continue a flat prismarine-brick wall without a visible break. Java Edition received Prismarine Brick Stairs in version 1.13, Bedrock Edition in 1.4.0. Survival players on both editions can therefore build matching staircases.
