Wooden Slab

Wooden Slabs function the same way as the Stone Slabs. They may be built by using three Wooden Planks in a horizontal line on the the crafting screen. They are available as of Beta v1.3

Due to a bug, wooden slabs must currently be collected with a pickaxe.

When stacked, they share a texture with wooden planks, but are non-flammable. This can be used to make fireproof wooden structures, although it will take twice as many Wooden Planks to create.

Wooden Slabs were introduced with Beta 1.3 which also revised Stone slabs, and introduced Cobblestone Slabs and Sandstone slabs.

Although wood slabs, cobblestone slabs, sandstone slabs, and stone slabs can be put on top of each other, you cant have two different slabs directly on top of one another, this is shown in this video.



Trivia

 * The crafting recipe for this block used to be the one used to make a Wooden Pressure Plate, but the recipe for said object was reduced to 2 side-by-side wooden planks after the Beta 1.3 update.
 * Since the Beta 1.3 update, all double slab blocks (including this one) yield 2 single slabs when broken as opposed to only one in earlier versions.
 * Even though it's made of wood, it is harvested fastest with a pickaxe, not an axe.
