Overview
Stone Brick 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.
Minecraft classifies Stone Brick Slab as a stone-family block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Stone Brick Slab. Its hardness of 2 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 Stone Bricks. You can also cut it from Stone Bricks on a stonecutter. Its only crafting use is Chiseled Stone Bricks.
About the stone set
How long it takes to break
Stone Brick Slab sits at hardness 2: 10 seconds per block with your fists, 0.35 with the correct netherite tool.
An iron tool takes 0.5 seconds and a diamond one 0.4, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to iron.
Below wooden the block breaks and simply vanishes. Bring the right tier or leave it in the ground.
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 * | 10 s | 10 s | 10 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 |
