Finding Smooth Sandstone Stairs in Creative Mode

What You Need to Craft Smooth Sandstone Stairs

Crafting 6 smooth sandstone blocks gives you 4 sets of stairs at once, so you get a decent amount per craft.

- Row 3: 3 blocks across all three slots
When you place them correctly, 4 smooth sandstone stairs will appear in the output box.
