Vertical slabs

[SuperNova841]

My friend multibuilder just asked me to request this :D

Willard probably won't add that

[Willard21]

I wouldn't mind adding it. But I can't think of a user-friendly way to place them without breaking existing mechanics. Like, if you place a slab against a wall, you expect it to either place a top slab or a bottom slab, depending on which half of the block you placed it on. You don't expect it to place sideways. If you propose a solution to this that I like then I'll add it to my to-do list.

Maybe horizontal and vertical slabs could just have separate inventory shapes?

[Oranamous]

Only do sideways placement while shift is pressed? Then it can be only one item but have two behaviors

[Willard21]

Making shift place sideways slabs would make it impossible to bridge with slabs.

Making them separate blocks/shapes could work, though it seems a little silly to have 2 shapes that are the exact same, but rotated. It could work though.

[Oranamous]

Maybe do what I said just now but reversed? Then you could have normal behavior when you press shift, but default to use side placement

[magic4792]

or a menu pops up for selection?

[RedMonster2]

actually, Thingmaker made logs that can be placed normally, or on the side of things, so that could be useful(although i personally am against the idea, just like Mojang is)

[Willard21]

Yeah... He was suggesting a block of that shape.

[ImaginaryNeon]

that's not real, you just made 2 4x4 cubes and left 2 blocks out of the stone stairs

1. I can't mod the game while in williard.fun/minekhan
2. It's obvious due to the grass textures.

[RedMonster2]

also, horizontal stairs, are not actually in minecraft

[ImaginaryNeon]

Yeah, I know. But I want them. Now give me your money. This is a robbery.
