Slabbed Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I place a torch on a slab so it doesn't float?
Simply place the torch directly on top of the slab block as you normally would—the mod automatically positions it flush with the slab surface instead of floating above it. The torch will sit at the exact height of the slab, making it look natural.
Can I put a chest on a slab?
Yes, chests and other furniture like crafting tables will sit flush on slab surfaces without floating. They'll be positioned at slab height and can be opened and used normally.
What happens if I break a block next to a lowered item on a slab?
The mod's Locked Positions feature keeps the item exactly where you placed it—it won't shift or float away when neighboring blocks are removed. This lets you build complex structures without worrying about items moving.
Can I stack blocks on top of items sitting on slabs?
Yes, you can place blocks directly on top of slab-supported items to build downward or create unique multi-level structures. This works because the lowered items provide a solid surface for stacking.
Does Slabbed Mod work with Terrain Slabs?
Yes, it's fully compatible with Countered's Terrain Slabs mod and combines both types into a single lowered surface. You can even grow short grass, ferns, and tall grass on terrain slabs.
Why is my redstone dust acting weird on lowered blocks?
Redstone dust can behave unpredictably when traveling up and down lowered steps—this is a known limitation of the mod. For critical redstone builds, test your designs carefully or use alternative routing methods.
Will banners, beds, and doors work on slabs?
Banners, beds, doors, and carpets may still float in some deep block arrangements and aren't fully supported yet. These items are listed as current limitations and may require workarounds depending on your setup.
How do I know where to click when placing items on a slab?
The mod updates your crosshair and block outline to point to the exact spot on the lowered item, making it clear where you'll place the next block. This visual feedback helps you build precisely without guessing.
Do blocks from other mods work with Slabbed Mod?
Blocks from other large mods with custom shapes might not line up perfectly right away, though many will work fine. If you encounter misalignment, check if there's a compatibility update or report the issue.
Can I use slabs as actual floors for my base now?
Yes, that's the main purpose of this mod—slabs now act like real, solid floors for decorations and furniture without weird gaps. You can build entire rooms and structures using slabs as your base layer.
