Description
Andesite stairs are shaped blocks that let players move between heights with a smooth slope and they are used extensively in building staircases and decorative edges. The stairs have the same speckled grey look as andesite which makes them a good match for stone based builds and for modern design schemes. Players prefer stairs because they look natural in a building and they connect to nearby stairs and blocks to form neat corners and runs without extra work. Andesite stairs are also useful for furniture style builds where they can act as chairs benches and low ledges because of their shape. The block is easy to obtain and craft making it suitable for both small projects and large scale construction. They work well with slabs and walls to create detailed trim and can be used to shape roofs that need a gentle slope. Because andesite is common when mining players can gather a steady supply of stairs for projects of any size. Whether you are building a hillside walkway a city road or an interior staircase andesite stairs provide a practical and attractive solution.
