NOTICE

Are you sure you want to report this?

Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Mine Double-Slabs Separately

When you place a slab on another slab, you get a double-slab, but when you mine the double-slab, you destroy the entire block. The suggestion is this - instead of mining both slabs at once, you will only mine the one you are looking at.

So if you mine the double-slab by pointing at the top half of the block, it will drop one slab, and the double-slab will be turned into a bottom-half slab.

Vise-versely, if you mine a double-slab by pointing at the bottom half of the block, it will drop one slab, and the double-slab will turn into a top-half slab.

 

This has nothing to do with putting slabs of different block types in the same 1x1 block space (which is a feature that has been declared wil never happen), this is about what happens when you mine a double-slab, which you get by placing two slabs of the same type on top of one another.

    This is already a thing.

    A minor inconvenience when it happens doesn't really bother me but I would like to see this change.

    @BuilderJayMC Yes, this is a minor change and there are other more pressing features I'd like to see done before this (which I can't communicate unless something like this is implemented), but it becomes very noticable when placing lots of single-slabs.

    @Blast Burner I don't know what you mean. When you mine a double slab block (java edition 1.14 and below), it turns into air and drops two slab items. Is this a thing in bedrock edition?
