Petrified Oak Slab

Petrified oak slabs are a unique type of slab only available from the Creative inventory, commands or upgrading from legacy versions - unlike all other slabs, they are unobtainable through conventional Survival gameplay.

Obtaining
Petrified oak slabs are unobtainable in new Survival worlds.

Breaking
Petrified oak slabs require a pickaxe to mine, dropping themselves when broken.

Crafting
Petrified oak slabs are uncraftable in current versions. However, they were craftable in older versions of the game, and crafted petrified oak slabs can be brought to current versions.

Usage
Petrified oak slabs are functionally still slabs, and share the majority of their placement, collision and other such behaviours with normally obtainable slabs.

Differences from normal slabs
Petrified oak slabs are mostly notable for where their behaviour diverges from that expected of their name and appearance.

Unlike other wooden slabs:
 * Petrified oak slabs make the sounds characteristic of stone.
 * They require a pickaxe to mine.
 * If broken with anything but a pickaxe, they will drop nothing.
 * They are not flammable.
 * They cannot be used as fuel in a furnace.

Unlike other slabs in general:
 * They cannot be crafted, or indeed obtained normally in Survival.
 * They do not have a direct full-block equivalent.
 * They do not drop themselves, but rather drop another type of slab: the oak slab.
