Overview
Granite Slab is one of the 30 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Oak Slab is the same shape in a different material.
Granite Slab counts as a stone-family block in Minecraft 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Granite Slab. Its hardness of 1.5 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.
Anything below a wooden pickaxe breaks it without leaving a drop. It drops as the same block you mined. It stacks to 64.
You make it with Granite. You can also cut it from Granite on a stonecutter. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the granite set
How long it takes to break
Granite Slab has a hardness of 1.5. By hand that is 7.5 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.25 seconds.
Iron manages 0.4 seconds and diamond 0.3, which makes diamond the tier that changes how this block feels.
Below wooden the block breaks and simply vanishes. Bring the right tier or leave it in the ground.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 2.5 times faster than the plain tool.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand * | 7.5 s | 7.5 s | 7.5 s |
| Wooden | 1.2 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Stone | 0.6 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Iron | 0.4 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Diamond | 0.3 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Netherite | 0.25 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Golden | 0.2 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
Properties
Blast resistance on Granite Slab is 6, so an explosion nearby will usually take it out. It stops light entirely and gives off no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. A pickaxe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag. As furnace fuel it burns for 7.5 seconds — 0.8 smelting operations.
