Overview
Mud Brick 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.
Mud Brick Stairs is a naturally generated block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Mud Brick Stairs. 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 Mud Bricks. You can also cut it from Mud Bricks on a stonecutter. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the mud brick set
How long it takes to break
Hardness 1.5 puts Mud Brick Stairs at 7.5 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.25 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
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
Mud Brick Stairs 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. 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.
