Description
A mangrove slab is a half height wooden plank block made from mangrove planks that gives builders fine control over vertical space and floor elevation. Slabs are useful for creating gentle steps, for making low profile roofs and for crafting layered floors that look more detailed than a flat surface. The mangrove slab has the same warm darker tone as mangrove planks and it blends with logs, leaves and roots to create cohesive builds that feel natural in swamp and coastal settings. Using slabs saves material when you need a low rise and it also helps avoid full block heights that can block sight lines in tight spaces. Slabs are often used on piers to create realistic decking and on furniture to make tables and benches without using full blocks. In survival you can craft slabs by converting planks at a crafting bench which makes them economical for large projects. Slabs also allow for subtle lighting arrangements because they can be placed at chest height and below to hide lights while keeping the area lit. They can be stacked to create full height blocks if needed and they support most of the same interactions as full blocks while giving a more refined look. Because slabs are wooden they can burn if near open flame so ensure lighting is placed safely. For decorative work slabs are invaluable because they let you vary heights and give furniture a natural scale that matches real world design. The mangrove slab is a versatile element for any builder who wants a natural wooden look without the bulk of full blocks.
What is Mangrove Slab?
A mangrove slab is a shallow wooden block representing half the height of a normal block. It is used to change floor levels, build steps and to create small furniture pieces. The slab looks like mangrove planks and joins seamlessly with other mangrove wood items to keep the design language consistent.
Where to find Mangrove Slab
Mangrove slabs are player crafted blocks and do not appear naturally. You will see them in player built docks and in houses where builders want to achieve a timber deck effect or to craft refined furniture. In creative mode they are available directly from the inventory for instant placement and testing.
How to get Mangrove Slab
Craft mangrove slabs by placing mangrove planks in the crafting grid according to the slab recipe. Each plank set will produce several slabs so slabs are a cost effective option for large builds. Pick them up by breaking if you need to relocate and store extras in chests for later use.

How to use Mangrove Slab
Use slabs for flooring, for furniture tops, for small steps and for decks on docks and porches. Combine slabs with stairs and fences to make railings and to create layered detailing. Build half height counters and tables with slabs to give interiors a realistic scale. Avoid putting slabs directly above open flames because they are wooden and can burn. Slabs are also useful for making smooth ramps and for subtle elevation changes across a base.
