How to Craft Jungle Slab in Minecraft

Jungle Slab in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Half-height building block.

Feed a Crafting Table 3 Jungle Planks and Jungle Slabs come back. Place them as three Jungle Planks in a row. Done once, that is 6 Jungle Slabs. Burn it instead and one gives 150 ticks, which means 86 Jungle Slabs take a stack of 64 all the way through a furnace.

Jungle Slab Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Jungle Slab is minecraft:jungle_slab. In commands the namespace may be left off, so jungle_slab works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p jungle_slab
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p jungle_slab 64
Give it to a named player
/give Steve jungle_slab 1

Cheats have to be on for Jungle Slab to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Overview

Jungle Slabs are half-height blocks. Mobs cannot spawn on top slabs, making them useful for mob-proofing. Jungle Slab uses a shaped recipe: the ingredients only work in the pattern shown.

How far back this one goes cannot be read out of the files: Minecraft 1.13 renamed hundreds of items and every recipe file with them, and the jungle slab was one of them, so the trail stops there.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with jungle planks (craft from jungle logs).

Stack Maths

Per craft 3 jungle planks buy 6 jungle slabs; per stack 64 buys 126. Short by one craft: 1 jungle planks left.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to craft a Jungle Slab in Minecraft?

How many Jungle Slabs do you get from one craft?
The Jungle Slab recipe makes 6 Jungle Slabs in a single craft.
What is the item ID for Jungle Slab in Minecraft?
In Java 26.2 the Jungle Slab goes by minecraft:jungle_slab; jungle_slab without the namespace does the same job in a command.
What is the give command for Jungle Slab?
Use /give @p jungle_slab to put a Jungle Slab in your own inventory, or /give @p jungle_slab 64 for a full stack of 64. Cheats have to be on.
What version of Minecraft added the Jungle Slab?
The jungle slab has carried this name since Minecraft 1.13, the release that renamed hundreds of items at once, and the files cannot say how much older than that it is: anything earlier is the same thing filed under a different name. That pattern above is still the one the game uses.
