Concrete and Terracotta having Slabs, Stairs, and Walls

under review

I really don’t like how you can’t craft concrete slabs and stairs. That basically means that we don’t have ANY colorful slabs and stairs. I really wish Mojang will add this because that would allow people to be more creative with what they build.

Edit: As you guys have mentioned in the comments, terracotta could use it as well.

Edit 2: They could also use walls, that could expand build options even more, and when it comes to build options, the more the merrier.

Edit 3: Fixed typo and improved title. Why is it taking so long for this to get released?

    I really love this idea, to be able to choose what colour stairs to have in my concrete builds and it all fit together would be nice

    I was thinking along a similar line of thought, and rather than carpet stairs being a separate object, we could get a new behavior for carpet to attach to the block underneath of it like partially on top of slabs and stairs, like this:

    I requested these right after the release of concrete, but the reply was that there were block limits. Yet, we had new slabs and stairs released anyway. Would still love to see concrete slabs, stairs, and wall additions. Terra-cotta versions would be cool, although I feel that concrete is more popular, especially with modern architecture builds.

    That is a really good idea, you should submit that (separately, too different to stay here only)

    Concrete stairs, slabs and walls would be an awesome addition to the game and I’m surprised it hasn’t been added yet with the game being 10 years old now. Hopefully Mojang considers this with the next major update. Minecraft really should have these types of blocks! It’s quite sad it doesn’t!

    Good idea, slabs and stairs are pretty limited material wise. At least more than I would like

    Mojang could do this, since concrete, and terracotta especially are stone like blocks. Keep in mind, Mojang only wants to make wood/stone based slabs and stairs.

    It’s actually brilliant, idk why they didn’t add it into the game earlier.

    This is a great idea, the stairs / colorful slabs will provide more variety for builders like me. I'd like these additions to be happens in 1.15 or sooner.

    Since we have stonecutter which basically allow to craft slabs and stairs of any stone-like item, so why not give this ability to concrete and terracotta?

    That would be nice, you can make more colorful things.

    I love concrete. It's one of my favorite blocks. I enjoy using them to make really  bright, colorful roofs that pop out against more neutral wall color schemes. However, I usually have to have a pretty big building for this, because I have to use whole blocks. Currently, we don't have any stair options that are nearly as colorful as concrete. I think concrete stairs would add a lot of variety to builds and let people make better awesome colorful roofs. 

    Another thing concrete is extremely good for is statues. I love using almost entirely concrete blocks to make statues, it gives it a nice, smooth, colorful look. Now, imagine what kind of statues you could make with concrete stairs and slabs! You'd be able to introduce more detailed shape on a smaller scale, allowing more variety in what people can create.

    Overall, I think adding concrete slabs and stairs would open up a whole new world for builders, so I think they'd be a wonderful addition the game. Out of any block in the game, I'd want those to be the ones receiving slab/stair variants.

    this addition would be quite nice, cuz I have been using quartz slabs and stairs as a substitute but they have a different texture. Also people who haven't been to the nether yet can recreate their concrete house without finding diamonds first.

    I would really like to see them use the terracotta to achieve this. They could easily add it to be accessed via the stone cutter and then we could have multiple patterns.

    This would make building more stylish, and it would look better. I'm definitely voting for this. Mojang should have added it a long time ago.

    It would also be cool if we could place carpets on stairs

    Concrete slabs and stairs would be useful beyond belief! My current build is all concrete of course, mainly for textures, but I’ve had to substitute quartz for white, andesite for blue, and smooth stone for gray. It would also prevent those lines between the blocks so that you can have solid surfaces and such.

    It's really annoying and stupid that you can't make stairs and half slabs with terracota & concrete. This annoys the heck out of me. Smooth Red sand and sand doesn't match well with terracotta. I mean...I don't see how it could be be that hard to make that happen...

    Or at least have it so you could dye smooth sandstone blocks or something...sheesh.

    It should be available on all engines and platforms.

    YES. We need concrete and terracotta walls, slabs, and stairs. In my Bedrock realm, I’m building a highway along the X-axis, and because these aren’t a part of the game, I had to keep the highway at Y63 and use red sandstone walls. I hope these are added to the game within the next three updates.

    im pretty sure theres a mod called quark that adds terracotta slabs and stairs (not sure about concrete though) and i think these would both fit right in with vanilla.

    side note: i think mojang should have a play around with some of the blocks in quark since theres a few other ones i would like to see too.

    I like this idea a lot, simply because it is realistic and it would be a very good addition to building. Now I need to use quartz for white stairs or slabs, but the texture doesn't really fit with concrete or terracotta.

    Why is wool not included in the list?

    And glazed terracotta as stairs or walls would be beautiful!
