level 1
These are the two most confusing pictures I've ever seen.
level 1
Hey OP I found those missing pictures of yours! Album here, Seriously though I hope this helps the confused ones.
level 2
This did nothing to alleviate my confused.
level 2
You deserve all of the delicious karma here.
level 1
I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and say that I don't understand the process based on the pictures you posted. I'd really like to know how this is done.
level 2
The two wall blocks to the left of the stairs in the first picture are actually stairs. They look a little different so you can kind of tell.
level 1
I don't understand the second picture.
level 2
The second picture shows how to place the stairs.
level 2
I think the second picture illustrates that the title should be "how to hide 2 stair blocks to make a third curved-stair block look like it's against the corner of two walls." Course, that sounds like shit.
level 1
I would like kiss you on the mouth.
level 1
Now I just need it to curve outwards
level 1
I wish this was just a block so we wouldn't have to bend over backwards to do these kind of things.
level 1
"without any additional blocks" in that case, don't have the wall...
level 1
I've never been able to figure this thing out. Cheers!
This article is about normal stairs. For the April Fools' joke, see Swaggiest stairs ever.
Stairs are blocks that allow mobs and players to change elevation without jumping.
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. Compared to slabs, the hardness values (and thus, breaking time) of stairs better reflect the blocks they are made from.[1]
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.
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.
Right side up stairs do not join with upside-down stairs and vice versa.
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.
Generally, the solid faces of stairs are handled as solid blocks. Due to this, transparent blocks that need to placed on an opaque surface can be placed on these faces.
Overworld wooden stairs can be used as fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.
Stone stairs can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.
