Stone Stairs
Stone Stairs create clean gray slopes, walkable steps, corners, seats, and roof trim without requiring players to jump.
Description
Stone Stairs let players climb one block without jumping and automatically form straight, inner-corner, or outer-corner shapes according to neighboring stairs. Stone Stairs can also be placed upside down by targeting the upper half of a block face. The neutral texture suits foundations, civic buildings, paved entrances, modern roofs, seats, and trim; combine Stone Stairs with Stone Slabs and full Stone blocks to create gradual profiles without introducing a different material.

Aim at the lower or upper half of a block face to place normal or upside-down stairs, then add neighbors to form corners.
