Stone Slab is a half-height block made in four kinds: stone, sandstone, wooden and cobblestone.
Obtaining
Breaking
Every kind, the wooden slab included, drops itself when mined with any pickaxe, and nothing otherwise. A pickaxe breaks every kind fastest.

3Usage
A slab fills the lower half of its space. Players and mobs walk up onto a slab without jumping.
A slab placed directly on top of a slab of the same kind joins it into a double stone slab.
Behaviour
Slabs stop light, although they fill only half their space.
Mobs do not spawn naturally on slabs, and torches cannot be placed on them.
The wooden slab does not burn, and is not furnace fuel.

The game names the cobblestone slab Stone Slab, the same as the stone one.
Block Transmutation can give a slab metadata 4 to 15. Such a slab shows the smooth stone top on every face, and drops a slab item with that damage value. Holding the pointer over that item in an inventory screen crashes the game, because the game has no name for it.
