He also mentions the possibility of upside-down slabs in a future update (not 12w08a), meaning we could place them on ceilings: Endraxial:@jeb_ Does this mean we'll be able to place the top-half of slabs now, instead of just the bottom? Jeb:@Endraxial Not yet... Talked with @jonkagstrom about it, but it's more complicated than up-side-down stairs
I for one am looking forward to using these in my builds!
Surely there will be those who complain about how useless they are, but I love getting new aesthetic blocks like these.
A point for the half-slabs: maybe jeb and jon could make half-slabs have horizontal and verticle orientations as well as being 'placed' on any of the 6 faces within a cube.
I think we should have stone stairs. That would be very useful to those who like making smooth paths and have to either use stone slabs or cobble stairs. stone slabs are a bit too light in color and not steep enough like stairs and although cobble stairs look nice, it kind of ruins smooth stone paths. At least that's my opinion. :tongue.gif:
EDIT: I totally forgot about the stone brick stairs. :tongue.gif:

"Up-side-down stairs are the same block as the normal stairs, but flipped when you place them on the bottom of another (from below)"

Yes! And sandstone stairs! I still don't get why those were left out...
Thinking about it, smoothstone stairs would be nice too. Stone brick gets the job done, but it doesn't really go with stone slabs that well.
It's bad enough that we have people who make such silly complaints.
But do we really need preemptive complaining about complaining as well?
Can't we just wait and see if it actually happens first?
Now all we need is sandstone stairs and smooth stone stairs (and dirt stairs and slabs, and nether brick slabs...) and we'll be golden.
This is nice though, I wasn't expecting it at all, like always. xD
