How can I fix a Minecraft stair to its shape?
Posted On: July 2, 2023

I am trying to build an arch roof using stairs and in doing so I need stairs to get a fixed stair shape. Here are some pictures to clarify:.


Two stairs together can form a corner stair:.


However when the adjoining stair is removed, the corner stair reverts to a single stair shape:.


As you can see, the stair isn't fix as a corner stair. How can I do that?


Question from user Baked Potato at stackexchange.


Answer:

First, I want to note that this can only be done in Creative, but you can switch your gamemode back to survival and it will still be there.


The first step to doing this is by creating a new Creative world or switching your gamemode to Creative via cheats.


The cheat to do this is /gamemode creative and simply type this into the Minecraft text chat. Once you're in Creative you will need to give yourself the Debug Stick by typing the cheat /give @a minecraft:debug_stick.


Now you're ready to change the shape of a stair!.


Place down your stair wherever you want it to be as if you break it or place a block next to it you will have to repeat the process.


Now hold out the Debug Stick and left click (M1 on PC) until it says "selected "shape" (straight)".


After that simply right click (M2 on PC) until your desired shape is chosen.


You can now put your stuff away and the stair will stay in that shape as long as you don't break it or place a block next to it.
