[[Minecraft:Walking]] up stairs is faster than [[Minecraft:jumping]] up the same distance. Walking up a stairway doesn't cost any [[Minecraft:Hunger#Exhaustion level increase|exhaustion]] from the player's [[Minecraft:hunger bar]], compared to 0.2 exhaustion per jump. Therefore, walking up stairs doesn't make the player hungry at all.

Template:For

File:All Stairs.png
All stairs.

Stairs are Minecraft:blocks that allow mobs and players to change elevation without jumping.

Variants

There are 58 variants of stairs: Template:Columns-list

There are also 6 stair variants in Minecraft:Chaos Cubed:Template:Upcoming

Obtaining

Crafting

All stairs have the same crafting recipe format, where six blocks result in four stairs of the same type. Like Minecraft:axes, the crafting recipe of stairs can be horizontally flipped. Template:Crafting

Stonecutting

All stairs except wooden stairs and bamboo mosaic stairs can be obtained by stonecutting. This is more efficient than crafting them, since each block directly results in one stair of the same type. Template:Stonecutting

Usage

Placement

File:Stairs reconfiguration.png
Stairs ReconfigurationLeft: Original facing when separate. Right: Changed shape when adjacent (top: inner corner; bottom: outer corner).

To place stairs, Template:Control a stairs item while pointing at a surface facing the space the stairs should occupy. When placed, a stair orients itself with the half-block side closest to the player.

Stairs can be placed either right side up or upside-down:

  • Pointing at a Minecraft:block top or the bottom half of a block side places the stairs right side up.
  • Pointing at a block bottom or the top half of a block side places the stairs upside-down.

Stairs change their shape to join with adjacent stairs (of any material):

  • When a stairs' half-block side is adjacent to the side of another stairs, the stairs' full-block side wraps into an "L" shape to join the other stairs (it creates an "inner corner").
  • When a stairs' full-block side is adjacent to the side of another stairs, the stairs' full-block side shortens to join the other stairs' full-block side (it creates an "outer corner").

Right side up stairs do not join with upside-down stairs and vice versa.

Walking

Walking up stairs is faster than jumping up the same distance. Walking up a stairway doesn't cost any exhaustion from the player's hunger bar, compared to 0.2 exhaustion per jump. Therefore, walking up stairs doesn't make the player hungry at all.

Behavior

Generally, the solid faces of stairs are handled as solid blocks. Due to this, transparent blocks that need to placed on an opaque surface can be placed on these faces.

The full-block faces of stairs do block light, and their non-full faces let light through the gaps.Template:More info
