How to Make Blackstone Stairs in Minecraft

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Put 6 blackstone blocks in a crafting table (one block in the top-left slot, two down the left side of the middle row and three across the bottom row) to make four stairs. A stonecutter also works: one stair per blackstone block.

What you need

6 blackstone blocks per craft
Crafting table or stonecutter
Pickaxe

Open a crafting table and place one block in the top-left slot, two down the left side of the middle row and three across the bottom row.
Take four stairs. One craft uses 6 blocks.
To use a stonecutter, put one blackstone block in it and choose the blackstone stairs output.
