When wooden slabs were first introduced, they were metadata variants of the normal smooth stone slabs, and as such broke the same. In later versions, they were replaced with the oak slabs currently in the game.

Obtaining

Crafting

Starting from the release of console editon, wooden slabs could be crafted. These were the petrified oak versions, and from TU8 onwards can no longer be crafted.

Additional Information

  • The petrified oak slabs share a lot of properties with stone slabs, such as not being flammable and needing a pickaxe to mine. This is due to the fake slabs being a data value of stone slabs.
  • Until TU14[test], petrified oak slabs were in the creative inventory, even after the implementation of regular oak slabs.
  • While sometimes referred to as alpha slabs, this terminology is flawed. This terminology comes from players, where slabs other than the conventional stone slabs were not implemented until Beta 1.3, when sandstone, wooden (petrified oak) and cobblestone slabs were added, despite Beta 1.3 obviously releasing after the conclusion of the Alpha era. It is highly recommended that these slabs be referred to as petrified oak slabs instead of "alpha slabs" as to avoid all such confusion.
