Tuff Brick Stairs
Tuff Brick Stairs are a decorative stair variant of tuff bricks that never generates naturally and is mined with any pickaxe.
1.21
Description
Tuff Brick Stairs are the stair variant of tuff bricks, fully available since Java Edition 1.21 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.0 without experimental features. A crafting table turns six tuff bricks into four Tuff Brick Stairs when the bricks fill a staircase-shaped pattern across six grid slots. A stonecutter offers a second route: one block of tuff, polished tuff, or tuff bricks converts into one stair. Tuff Brick Stairs never generate naturally, so a finished staircase always traces back to player crafting or stonecutting. Tuff Brick Stairs are not renewable, stack to 64, are not flammable, and can be waterlogged (the stair keeps water inside its block space).
Breaking Tuff Brick Stairs requires a pickaxe of any tier, wooden included; mining without a pickaxe drops nothing, and the hardness value is 1.5. In builds, Tuff Brick Stairs serve as steps and angled ledges for tuff-brick architecture, sharing the placement mechanics common to every Minecraft stair. Builders pair Tuff Brick Stairs with tuff bricks when a staircase needs to match the surrounding wall material. Four stairs per craft keep large tuff-brick staircases affordable in survival worlds.
