Stone Slab is the half-block version of smelted stone — six per recipe, the standard half-floor for clean grey palettes.

Description

Stone Slab is crafted from three stone blocks placed in a single horizontal row, yielding six slabs per recipe — same generous ratio as oak slab, scaled across the entire stone family. The texture matches the parent block: smooth grey with only the faintest grain, distinctly cleaner than the chunky cobblestone-slab variant. A stonecutter alternative produces a one-to-one conversion from stone for builders prioritising material efficiency.

The block stacks the same way every slab does: bottom-half on a floor or top-half hanging from a ceiling, with two same-type slabs merging into a full block when stacked vertically. Common applications include modern paved patios, indoor floors that need to read as fitted tile rather than rough cave stone, low garden walls when used at top-half height, and decorative trim around windows in stone-faced exteriors. The block has no special blast resistance and shares fire/lava behaviour with the parent — it does not burn but heats up under direct lava contact like all stone variants.
