    Check your current game version. This technique only works in pre-1.3 Beta Minecraft Java Edition. Any version after that has this bug patched out and replaced with Petrified Stone Slabs (a type of stone slabs with a wooden texture) which are not obtainable in Survival!

    Community Answer
    You can make slabs by taking the material of slabs you want to make, and placing 3 of them in a row on a crafting bench.

Things You'll Need

  • Twice as many wooden slabs as the number of required planks (depends on the size of the house.
  • Glass block/panes (number depends on whether you want windows and how many window you want),
  • At least 1 Door (1-2 for the building entrance; the rest are up to you).
