Description
Cobblestone Slab is a half height version of cobblestone that provides builders with flexible options for flooring steps and trim while saving on material cost. Slabs are an essential part of detailed building because they let you create gentle height transitions seating and thin architectural elements that would be awkward with full height blocks. The cobblestone slab keeps the rugged and textured appearance of its full block counterpart so you can make large surfaces that look consistent and durable while adding subtle variety to floors and pathways. Because slabs can be stacked to recreate a full height block or placed singly to form steps you get a wide range of functional and decorative uses from a single resource. Cobblestone slabs are especially useful in tunnels and mines where space is limited and where you want to keep a low profile while adding functional steps and walkways. The slab is quick to craft and place and it pairs well with cobblestone stairs and walls to produce coherent structural elements across a build.
What is Cobblestone Slab?
Cobblestone Slab is a thin half height building block that reproduces the appearance of cobblestone while giving finer control over vertical space. Two slabs stacked together equal one full block height which makes slabs a versatile tool for design and for compact constructions.
