Description
Dark Oak Slab is a half height wooden block used to make floors steps and decorative trim in builds. The slab provides a way to create smoother slopes and thinner details while using fewer materials than a full block. Dark oak slabs match the dark rich tone of dark oak planks and blend well in rustic modern and medieval designs. They are useful for building staircases low seating areas furniture tops and layered roofing where a thinner profile is desired. Because slabs do not occupy the full height of a block they are handy for creating subtle level changes and for making player friendly pathways that do not obstruct movement. Crafting slabs is efficient since one log yields many planks and those planks are converted into slabs at a rate that stretches wood resources. Players often use slabs to reduce the cost of large floor areas without compromising the look of the build. Slabs can be placed on the top or bottom half of a block space and two slabs stacked together create a full block. This feature allows builders to create custom shapes and patterns especially when mixing slab positions. In addition slabs are useful for preventing full block based mob spawning in some designs while still covering an area visually. Dark oak slabs are a staple material for builders who want to combine economy and style when creating large scale projects.
