FINALLY! Place items on slabs!
Hang lanterns from slabs! Stack blocks on slabs! Stack blocks on those blocks on slabs!
Your slabs finally get the love they deserve 💖
Slabbed makes the tops of slabs act like solid ground, without breaking vanilla behavior. Everything still behaves like Minecraft expects — it just works the way you always wished slabs did.
As of 0.2.0-beta, you can now hang most items underneath top slabs too!
Chain your chains! Hang lanterns! End-rod chaos! Hanging roots! Dripstone! Bells!
⚠️ A note on building with slabs:
Placing items on slabs and hanging from them works great. Building full blocks on top of slabs, however, is still a work in progress — you may run into visual glitches, culled faces, or misplacement. This is a deeply layered issue I've been chipping away at for months. For now, I'd recommend using Slabbed for what it was originally built for — placing and hanging items — and keeping building expectations low. Full-block-on-slab support is the goal, but it's not there yet. Stay tuned!
✅ Supported Slabbables (just a few of many)
- Lanterns (standing & hanging)
- Torches
- Chains (including stacked chains + lantern connections)
- Hanging signs
- Hanging roots
- Spore blossoms
- Pointed dripstone
- Bells
- Trapdoors
- Pressure plates, levers, buttons
- Carpet
- Rails (placement supported; visual alignment WIP)
- Lots of decorative + utility blocks
- Etc. etc. etc. etc. etc!!
- Partial stairs compatibility
⚠️ Known Issues / Limitations
Functional limitations
- Stairs have limited support (may cause visual ghost artifacts)
- Redstone does not propagate downward through slabs (up only, for now)
- Powered rails require a same-level activator (lever/torch next to the slab)
- Rails are not yet visually aligned on slab tops
- Cannot place a slab directly over carpet (same as vanilla behavior)
- Bars not compatible yet
- Chain floating behavior changed in recent versions — under investigation
- Some normal blocks may behave unexpectedly near slabs in specific setups
Visual / cosmetic limitations
- Reduced hitbox reach may occur on some slabbed blocks (e.g. carpet)
- Mixed multi-stacking (multiple full blocks between two slabs) is not supported yet
- Currently incompatible with custom slabs (may add in a future update)
- Occasional invisible / missing textures on certain blocks above slabs — actively being looked at
- Rare world-render shifting above slabs in specific setups — actively being investigated
🧪 Development status
Slabbed is still being developed!
As always, back up your worlds before installing, and expect polish to keep rolling in!
