Overview
Prismarine Brick Slab is one of the 5 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. Brick Slab is the same shape in a different material.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Prismarine Brick Slab is an underwater block. Prismarine Brick Slab is made at a crafting table. Hardness 1.5 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
Mine it with a wooden pickaxe or better, or you get no drop at all. Broken correctly, it drops itself. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.
The recipe calls for Prismarine Bricks. A stonecutter can cut it straight from Prismarine Bricks, with nothing wasted. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the prismarine set
How long it takes to break
Prismarine Brick 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 takes 0.4 seconds against diamond's 0.3, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to diamond.
The block still breaks with a weaker tool, but below wooden it yields nothing at all — the time is spent and the drop is lost, which is the single most common way players waste a vein.
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
Prismarine Brick Slab resists blasts at 6, which usually is not enough when something explodes nearby. Light does not pass through it, and it emits none of its own. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. The fastest tool for it is a pickaxe; 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.
