Obtaining[edit]
Breaking[edit]
Wood stairs drop themselves as items when broken with any tool, or with no tool, but an axe is fastest. Non-wood stairs drop themselves as items only if broken with a pickaxe.

Crafting[edit]
Wood stairs must be crafted entirely from one type and color of wood, and they retain the style of that wood's type and color. It is not possible to make Stairs from Warped Planks.
Stonecutting[edit]
Usage[edit]
Placement[edit]
To place stairs, use 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 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[edit]
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[edit]
Generally, the solid faces of stairs are handled as solid blocks.[Java Edition only][1] Due to this, transparent blocks that need to placed on an opaque surface can be placed on these faces.
Fuel[edit]
Wooden stairs can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.
Note Blocks[edit]
Wooden stairs can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sound.
Stone stairs can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sound.

Metadata[edit]
In Bedrock Edition, stairs use the following data values:
All but cut copper stairs:
Bits | Description |
---|---|
0x1 0x2 |
A two-bit field containing a value from 0 to 3 specifying the direction of the stairs' full-block side:
|
0x4 | Set if stairs are upside-down |
0x8 | (unused) |
Block states[edit]
Name | Default value | Allowed values | Description |
---|---|---|---|
facing | north | east north south west | The direction the stairs' full-block side faces. When placed in-game by a player, this matches the direction the player faces. |
half | bottom | bottom top | Top if the stairs are upside-down. |
shape | straight | inner_left inner_right outer_left outer_right straight | "straight" is the default stairs shape. "inner" is an "inside corner" stair shape, with two full-block and two stair-shaped side faces. "outer" is an "outside corner" stair shape, with two stair-shaped and two half-block side faces. "left" and "right" specify in which direction is the higher part of the step. |
waterlogged | false | false true | Whether or not there's water in the same place as these stairs. |
Bedrock Edition:

Cut copper stairs
Name | Default value | Allowed values | Description |
---|---|---|---|
copper_oxidation | 0 | 0 1 2 3 | How many steps in the oxidation process this copper is. |
copper_waxed | false | false true | Whether or not this copper is waxed. |
upside_down_bit | false | false true | True if the stairs are upside-down. |
weirdo_direction | 0 | 0 1 2 3 | The direction the stairs' full-block side faces. When placed in-game by a player, this matches the direction the player faces. |

v1.2.0 | preview | The orientation of stairs is now determined based on the direction the player faces while placing them. Before this version, stairs would determine their orientation based on the surrounding blocks (changing if they were changed). | |||
v1.2.2 | Stairs now have the odd property of being transparent to light; when placed one or more spaces above the ground with air beneath, sunlight or other light sources now shine through and light the blocks beneath or behind the stairs exactly as if nothing opaque are present between them. | ||||
Other atmospheric effects such as snowfall do not penetrate stair blocks, making them an unusually effective material for creating roofing that kept weather out, but still let daylight in. | |||||
Snow cannot accumulate on top of stair blocks, grass is able to grow on the block directly underneath a stair block, and grass disappears if a stair block was placed on top of it. Any stair block placed in Alpha v1.2.0_02 to Beta 1.5 would keep this property in later versions until it or an adjacent block is changed or removed, causing a lighting update. | |||||

- This exceeded the anvil character limit.[7]
- The current and previous record holders for the longest name for any block in Minecraft (excluding Education Edition) are "Cracked Polished Blackstone Bricks" and "Polished Blackstone Pressure Plate", both at 31 characters excluding spaces (34 including spaces).
- The record holders in Education Edition are "Hardened Light Blue Stained Glass Pane" and "Hardened Light Gray Stained Glass Pane", both at 33 characters excluding spaces (38 including spaces).
