Dirt slabs/stairs have always been a controversial topic. There is a currently rule since 1.14 that is going to be applied going forward in future updates, with examples in 1.16: wood-like materials will get fences and stone-like materials will get walls. What both wood and stone-like materials have in common are slabs and stairs. While dirt doesn't fall in neither of those categories, I would suggest to add slabs and stairs to ~Coarse~ Dirt instead. Why would it make sense? Because it's not pure dirt, it is dirt with gravel. What is gravel? Pebbles? Exactly! Stone! So Coarse Dirt is kinda stone-like. Why do I want this block in the game? Because it would be very helpful for terraforming, making detailed paths, overall it is a good-looking block variant for building purposes. It could also replace the Petrified Oak Slab, an unobtainable oak slab that has stone hardness.
