Slab Back Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I combine two slabs back into a full block?
Place two slabs of the same type in a crafting grid (they can be arranged in any pattern) and you'll receive one full block back. Both slabs must match—you cannot mix different slab types in a single recipe.
Does this work with all slabs in the game?
The mod works with almost all block-slab combinations, including vanilla slabs and slabs from most other mods. If a slab type doesn't work, it's likely from a mod with unusual slab handling.
Can I combine slabs in my inventory or only in a crafting table?
You need to use a crafting grid (crafting table, crafting bench, or player inventory crafting grid) to combine slabs—you cannot merge them by simply holding them together in your hotbar.
What if I accidentally crafted a double chest worth of slabs?
You can convert them back to full blocks by combining pairs of matching slabs in a crafting grid. This process can be repeated as many times as needed, though it will take time if you have a large quantity.
Do top and bottom slabs combine into the same block?
Yes, a top slab and a bottom slab of the same material will combine into one full block, making it easy to recover materials regardless of which slab variant you have.
Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?
The mod is lightweight and only adds a simple crafting recipe, so it should have no noticeable impact on performance or frame rate.
Will this mod work with modded slabs from other mods?
Yes, the mod is designed to work with slabs from most other mods, though compatibility depends on how those mods implement their slabs. Rare or heavily customized slab types may not work.
Can I combine slabs in a furnace or other device?
No, slab combining only works through crafting grids. Furnaces, hoppers, and other devices cannot process this recipe.
What do I get if I combine two different slab types?
The recipe will not work—the crafting grid will not produce anything if the two slabs don't match. Both slabs must be made from the same block type.
Is there a way to convert a full block back into slabs if I change my mind?
Yes, you can use the standard Minecraft crafting recipe to convert any full block into slabs, just as you would without this mod. This mod only adds the ability to go from slabs back to blocks.
