Overview
Mangrove Stairs 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 Stairs is the same shape in a different material.
Mangrove Stairs counts as a building block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Mangrove Stairs is made at a crafting table. Hardness 2 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
It drops as the same block you mined. It stacks to 64. You make it with Mangrove Planks.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
About the mangrove set
How long it takes to break
Mangrove Stairs sits at hardness 2: 3 seconds per block with your fists, 0.35 with the correct netherite tool.
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.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 3.5 times faster than the plain tool.
| 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
Blast resistance on Mangrove Stairs is 3, so an explosion nearby will usually take it out. It stops light entirely and gives off no light. 64 fit in a slot — a full stack. Fire takes to it quickly — encouragement 5, burn 20 — which makes it a poor neighbour for lava or a lit campfire. The block is tagged for axes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
