Smooth Quartz Slab
Smooth Quartz Slab is a clean white half-height building block crafted from three Smooth Quartz Blocks into six slabs for floors, staircases, and modern trim.
Description
Smooth Quartz Slab suits clean modern and minimalist builds where builders want floors, staircases, and decorative trim without visible pillar lines. Unlike the regular Quartz Slab, which shows the lined side texture of a Quartz Block, Smooth Quartz Slab presents a uniform polished face on every side, making the slab ideal for seamless large surfaces. Builders place Smooth Quartz Slab on the top, bottom, or as a double slab that fills a full block space. The renewable chain runs from Piglin bartering for Nether Quartz through Quartz Block to Smooth Quartz Block, so Smooth Quartz Slab counts as a fully renewable resource.

Guide
How to craft Smooth Quartz Slab in Minecraft
-
1
Gather Smooth Quartz Blocks
Collect three Smooth Quartz Blocks, the parent ingredient that each Smooth Quartz Slab recipe consumes in sets of three.
-
2
Open a crafting table
Right-click a crafting table to open the 3×3 grid where Smooth Quartz Slab is assembled in the middle row.
-
3
Place the blocks in a row
Place the three Smooth Quartz Blocks in slots 4, 5, and 6 (the horizontal middle row) so the recipe matches the classic slab shape.
-
4
Collect six slabs
Take the six Smooth Quartz Slabs from the result slot, the verified yield of the 3-block recipe on a crafting table.
-
5
Try the stonecutter alternative
Use a stonecutter on a single Smooth Quartz Block to obtain two Smooth Quartz Slabs with no layout required, useful for small batches.
Smooth Quartz Slab is fully renewable: Piglins barter Nether Quartz during trades, and players smelt and craft that quartz into Smooth Quartz Blocks, so the ingredient supply never runs out.

Frequently asked questions
How many Smooth Quartz Slabs does the crafting recipe produce?
The crafting-table recipe places three Smooth Quartz Blocks in a horizontal middle row and produces six Smooth Quartz Slabs, the classic Minecraft slab ratio of two slabs per block.
Is Smooth Quartz Slab renewable in Minecraft?
Yes, Smooth Quartz Slab is fully renewable. Piglins barter Nether Quartz during trades, and players craft that quartz into Quartz Blocks, then smelt or craft them into Smooth Quartz Blocks used for the slab recipe.
What tool is needed to break Smooth Quartz Slab?
A pickaxe breaks Smooth Quartz Slab, which then drops itself as an item. Mining Smooth Quartz Slab by hand or with the wrong tool drops nothing, so always use a pickaxe of any tier.
Does Smooth Quartz Slab burn or work as fuel?
No, Smooth Quartz Slab is a stone-type block that does not burn. Fire and lava cannot destroy Smooth Quartz Slab, and the slab cannot serve as furnace fuel.
Which Minecraft version added Smooth Quartz Slab?
Smooth Quartz Slab was added in Java Edition 1.14 (snapshot 18w43a) and Bedrock Edition 1.10.0, alongside the rest of the smooth quartz family of decorative blocks.
What is the difference between Smooth Quartz Slab and a regular Quartz Slab?
Smooth Quartz Slab shows a uniform polished face on every side, while the regular Quartz Slab exposes the lined pillar texture of a Quartz Block on its vertical faces, so Smooth Quartz Slab reads cleaner on seamless surfaces.
