Description

Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs are a decorative stairs variant cut from smooth red sandstone that never generates naturally in any Minecraft world. Four Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs come from six smooth red sandstone blocks arranged in a stair shape on a crafting grid, and a stonecutter turns one block into one stair. Any pickaxe breaks Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs, and a wooden pickaxe finishes the job in 1.5 seconds. Hardness 2 and blast resistance 6 complete the stats of Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs.

Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs give builders a step block that stays color-matched with other smooth red sandstone structures, from desert-style temples to red-tinted terraces. Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs do not burn and are not susceptible to lava. In Java Edition, light passes through Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs only partially. Bedrock Edition counts Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs as fully transparent. Waterlogging lets Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs hold water inside, so pool edges and flooded staircases stay flush with the surface. Six smooth red sandstone blocks become six stairs at a stonecutter but only four at a crafting table, so the stonecutter wins on stairs per block.

Guide

How to craft Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs in Minecraft

1

Collect smooth red sandstone

Gather smooth red sandstone blocks first: six blocks craft four Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs at a crafting table, and the stonecutter route spends one block per stair.
2

Arrange the stair shape

Place six smooth red sandstone blocks in a stair shape on the 3x3 crafting grid: two in the top row, one in the middle row, three along the bottom row. Take four Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs from the output slot.
3

Use a stonecutter

Put smooth red sandstone into a stonecutter for a pattern-free option that turns one block into one stair.
4

Mine with a pickaxe

Break placed Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs with any pickaxe to recover the block: a wooden pickaxe already finishes in 1.5 seconds.
