Sandstone Slab in Minecraft

The sandstone slab is a half-block version of sandstone. It can be both crafted using a crafting table or cut using a stonecutter. Sandstone slabs can be picked up by simply breaking them with a pickaxe. Placing a sandstone slab on top of another will turn it into a full sandstone block.

What is the use of a Sandstone Slab?


Sandstone slabs behave like regular slabs and are transparent to light and mobs. Sandstone slabs are seen as full blocks by mobs when they are pathfinding. Two slabs placed on top of each other make a full block of sandstone. These slabs don't have any specific use and cannot be used as a substitute for crafting recipes that require stone slabs of any kind.
