How to Make Tuff Brick Slab in Minecraft
Tuff Brick Slab
Tuff Brick Slab is a half-height Tuff Bricks piece (a slab is half a block tall) for layered floors, ledges, and smooth height transitions.
Description
Two Tuff Brick Slab pieces placed in the same block space combine into a double slab. A single slab blocks light in Java Edition and diffuses sky light in Bedrock Edition, and the double slab is not transparent at all. Tuff Brick Slab doubles as a crafting ingredient: two pieces stacked vertically make one Chiseled Tuff Bricks block, a carved gray accent. A note block placed on Tuff Brick Slab plays the bass drum instrument. Choose Tuff Brick Slab for tuff brick floors, ledges, and wall faces that need half-block detailing instead of full blocks.

Put one Tuff, Polished Tuff, or Tuff Bricks block into a stonecutter and collect two Tuff Brick Slab pieces from the output.
