Usage

Wool stairs come in sixteen colors, which are white, light gray, gray, black, brown, red, orange, yellow, lime, green, cyan, light blue, blue, purple, magenta, and pink. Just like the wool block, the white variant serves as the undyed block. Wool stairs of any color can be re-dyed into any other color.

Wool stairs are easily mined, highly flammable, and offer little resistance against explosions.

Vibration occlusion

Wool stairs can be used to block vibrations from reaching nearby sculk sensors. If wool stairs are placed between a sensor and a vibration source, the sensor is not able to detect vibrations behind it. Similarly, if wool stairs are placed between a sensor and a sculk shrieker, the sensor is unable to alert the shrieker.

Sculk sensors are not able to detect the placing and breaking of wool stairs, as well as entities walking, sprinting, or jumping on top of it. They are also unable to detect items dropped on wool stairs, or wool stairs itself dropped in item form.

Similarly to sculk sensors, wardens are also unable to detect everything wool-related as listed above.

Wool stairs can also be used to prevent note block vibrations from reaching allays.

Fuel

In Java Edition, wool stairs can be used as fuel in furnaces and their variants, smelting 0.5 items per wool stair.
