Overview
Jungle 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.
Jungle Slab is a building block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Jungle Slab has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 2 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
Broken correctly, it drops itself. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. The recipe calls for Jungle Planks.
It is an ingredient in 5 recipes, among them Barrel, Chiseled Bookshelf, Composter and 2 more.
About the jungle set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 2, Jungle Slab takes 3 seconds to punch out and 0.35 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
Iron takes 0.5 seconds against diamond's 0.4, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to iron.
No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 3.5 times faster than an unenchanted one.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 3 s | 3 s | 3 s |
| Wooden | 1.5 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Stone | 0.75 s | 0.25 s | 0.1 s |
| Iron | 0.5 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Diamond | 0.4 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Netherite | 0.35 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Golden | 0.25 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
Properties
Jungle Slab has a blast resistance of 3, so a nearby explosion will usually destroy it. It blocks light completely and emits no light of its own. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. Fire spreads to it readily (encouragement 5, burn 20), so keep it away from lava and away from anything you would rather not lose. The fastest tool for it is an axe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 7.5 seconds — 0.8 smelting operations.
