Build and technical notes

• Bamboo Slab is a half-height building piece. It is useful for gradual elevation changes, compact detailing and spawn-conscious surfaces; two matching slabs can share one full block space.
• The recorded collision shape is “block”. Collision is a gameplay property, so do not infer it only from the block's visible model.
• Java data contains 6 block-state combinations for Bamboo Slab. Commands that need one exact orientation or state must specify properties separately from the base ID.
• Its recorded blast resistance is 3; this is separate from hardness and should be used for explosion-risk comparisons.

Java and Bedrock differences

• Bamboo Slab exists in both tracked editions. Java uses minecraft:bamboo_slab; Bedrock uses minecraft:bamboo_slab.
