Slabbed

FINALLY! Place items on slabs!

Hang lanterns from slabs! Stack blocks on slabs! Stack blocks on *those* blocks on those 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.

^*Slabbed is still in beta, so some features are still actively being improved and expanded.

✨ New in Beta 4

Slabbed 0.2.0-beta.4 is a major interaction-stability update.

This release improves targeting, hitboxes, visual contact, placement acceptance, and server-side interaction behavior for many common slab-supported building objects.

Majorly improved areas include:

- Torches - Candles - Flower pots - Buttons - Trapdoors - Regular doors - Chains - Lanterns - Fences - Walls - Fence gates - Stairs in audited slab-supported setups - Ordinary blocks in audited slab-supported setups - Compound slab-block-slab-block structures

A lot of previously cursed behavior around “the object looks like it’s there but Minecraft thinks it’s somewhere else” has been cleaned up.

What does Slabbed do?

Slabbed lets more blocks and objects behave naturally around slabs.

In vanilla Minecraft, slabs are often awkward supports. Things visually look like they *should* sit on them, attach to them, or interact with them — but the game’s placement and hitbox rules say otherwise.

Slabbed works to make those situations feel more consistent.

Examples:

- Place objects on slab-supported surfaces more naturally. - Make supported objects visually sit where they appear. - Improve targeting so the crosshair selects the visible object instead of the wrong support block. - Make common building objects behave better around lowered slab structures. - Reduce weird floating, snapping, ghosting, and interaction mismatch issues.

The long-term goal is broad slab support, but the mod expands this carefully by category and by proven behavior. Minecraft has a lot of special-case block logic under the hood.

✅ Currently much improved

Beta 4 has focused heavily on common building objects and slab-supported interaction stability.

The following categories are much more stable in this beta:

- Ordinary blocks - Slabs in supported slab-lane setups - Stairs in audited setups - Torches - Candles - Flower pots - Buttons - Trapdoors - Regular doors - Chains - Lanterns - Fences - Walls - Fence gates

This does not mean every possible item and block category is complete yet. It means these common building cases received the most direct testing and stabilization work for this beta.

⚠️ Beta note

Slabbed is still beta software.

Beta 4 is a big step forward, but it does not claim universal support for every Minecraft block or item yet.

Some categories still need dedicated work, especially:

- Panes / bars - Carpets and thin top layers - Rails - Redstone - Signs and some specialized attachments - Complex custom blocks from other mods - Certain unusual slab-placement edge cases

There is also a deeper known limitation where some slab placement or break neighbor updates can visually re-resolve lowered slab lanes in specific stacked builds. This is being tracked separately as a slab lane-grammar issue rather than a quick one-block fix.

---

Known limitations

Current known limitations include:

- Panes and bars are not fully supported yet. - Carpets and thin top layers are not covered by the current beta’s supported object matrix. - Rails and redstone still need dedicated compatibility work. - Some slab placement/break neighbor updates can visually “jump” or re-resolve lowered lanes in specific stacked structures. - Custom slabs or heavily custom modded blocks may not behave correctly yet. - Visual compatibility issues may still appear with certain rendering-heavy mods or custom block models. - This beta does not claim universal support for every Minecraft item/block category.

If something looks wrong, it probably is — and it is probably useful to report.

Compatibility

Slabbed is built for:

- Fabric API - Fabric API - Fabric API

Compatibility with other mods will vary depending on how those mods define block shapes, rendering, collision, placement, or custom models.

Mods with heavily custom-rendered blocks may need dedicated compatibility work.

---

Reporting bugs

Bug reports are extremely helpful.

If you find an issue, please include:

- Minecraft version - Slabbed version - Fabric Loader version - Fabric API version - Other installed mods - Screenshots or video if possible - Exact placement steps - What you expected to happen - What actually happened

Especially helpful bug reports include short videos showing the crosshair, placement attempt, or visual mismatch.

---

Current development focus

Current development is focused on:

- Expanding supported object categories carefully - Improving visual/model/outline/raycast agreement - Fixing remaining slab-lane edge cases - Improving compatibility with modded blocks - Reducing ghost blocks, wrong targeting, and strange hitbox behavior - Moving toward broader slab support without broad vanilla-solid-block hacks

Slabbed’s goal is simple:

Things should sit where they look like they sit.

Minecraft just makes that surprisingly complicated.

Thanks!

Thanks for playing with Slabbed.

This mod is made by one person and is still actively evolving. Every bug report, screenshot, video, and weird edge case helps make slab-supported building better.
