FAQ’s

Do jungle stairs generate naturally in Minecraft?

No, jungle stairs do not naturally generate in a Minecraft world. Crafting them is the only way to acquire them in the game.

Are jungle stairs stackable? If so, how many can go in a stack?

Jungle stairs, like all stairs in Minecraft, are stackable and you can have up to 64 in one stack.

What is the best tool(s) for breaking stairs?

An ax is the fastest tool for breaking wood stairs, like jungle, spruce, and dark oak stairs. And a pickaxe is best for breaking non-wood stairs, like andesite, brick, or stone stairs in Minecraft. Breaking a wood stair without a tool will drop a stair that can be picked up. Breaking non-wood stairs with anything other than a pickaxe will cause the stairs not to drop and they will be lost.

Is walking up stairs faster than jumping up one block?

Yes, walking upstairs is faster than jumping up the same distance. Another benefit to using stairs over jumping is that it doesn’t exhaust your hunger bar, meaning you won’t wear yourself down and have to eat.

Can wood stairs be used as fuel for furnaces and blast furnaces?

Yes, jungle and other wood stairs can be used as fuel in furnaces, blast furnaces, and smokers. You will be able to smelt 1.5 items be wood stair burned.

Are jungle stairs water soluble?

Yes, jungle stairs, like all stair variants, wood and non-wood, are water soluble. Meaning you can place a stair and water from a water bucket in the same space. This can come in handy when you’re have a single layer of blocks and need to make a spot that holds water. Replacing a full block with a stair or slab will allow you to place water in the same place as well.
