Slab

A Slab is a Block that takes up the space of half a block. Placing two slabs on one another will form a full block.

Types
There are many variants of slabs:


 * Wooden Slab (All types of wood)
 * Stone Slab
 * Stone Brick Slab
 * Cobblestone Slab
 * Brick Slab
 * Quartz Slab
 * Sandstone Slab
 * Nether Brick Slab

Crafting
Three of each ingredient can be used to make six of its respective slab in a Stonecutter (Stone Variant Slabs, before 0.12.1) or a Crafting Table (Wood and Stone Variant Slabs) (Stone Variant slabs after 0.12.1).

Trivia

 * Mobs cannot spawn on slabs.
 * Slabs are also called Half Slabs or Half Blocks.
 * Slabs are a little smaller than End Portal Frames.
 * The Nether Brick Slab's texture was brightened after Update 0.14.2.
 * Stone Slabs are found naturally on Blacksmith roofs in Villages.
 * If a block is placed on top of a Slab, it will appear to be floating.
 * Some Slabs are used in crafting Chiseled Blocks.
 * The player can use a Wood-type Slab as fuel.
 * In Update 0.11.0, the player can use Andesites, Diorites, or Granites to make Stone Slabs.
 * If a Creeper explodes on a slab, it would destroy nothing but the slab.
 * This is no longer true since Update 0.14.0.
 * Light can pass through slabs, meaning if the player puts Torches or Glowstone underneath, there will still be light.
 * Two different slabs will not stack; for instance, a Stone Slab cannot be placed directly on a Cobblestone Slab, and the Stone Slab will appear to be floating.
 * There is a bug that causes mobs to spin in circles when they walk over a slab.
