Stairs are blocks that allow a player to change elevation without jumping, similar to Slabs. They allow for easier movement over areas that a player would normally have to climb. Stairs can "merge" with other stairs when they meet at right angles to create a smooth transition. This can be useful for making a roof, floor recess, etc. Stairs will naturally occur in NPC Villages and in nether fortresses.
Crafting
Stairs can be crafted from six Wooden Planks , six Cobblestone blocks, six Bricks , six Stone Bricks, six Sandstone blocks, six Nether Bricks, six Nether Quartz, or six Purpur Blocks, producing four stairs per craft. Upon destroying the block after placement, it will yield only one of the material used to craft it.
