History

Java Edition

Java Edition Infdev
20100629							Added stone stairs.
							The inventory icon for stone stairs is a flat cobblestone texture.
Java Edition Alpha
v1.0.1							The inventory icon for stone stairs has been changed to an image of a render of them, which is glitched.
v1.2.0			preview				The orientation of stone stairs is now determined based on the direction the player faces while placing them. Before this version, they would determine their orientation based on the surrounding blocks (changing if they were changed).
v1.2.2							Stone stairs now have an odd property of being transparent to light; when there is at least one block of air beneath, sunlight or other light sources shine through and light up blocks beneath or behind the stairs as if nothing opaque are present between them.
							Other atmospheric effects such as snowfall do not penetrate stone stair blocks.
							Snow cannot accumulate on top of stone stairs, grass is able to grow on a block directly underneath them and disappears if stone stairs were placed on top of it. Any stone stairs placed between Alpha v1.2.0_02 and Beta 1.5 would keep this property in later versions until it or an adjacent block is changed or removed, causing a lighting update.
Java Edition Beta
1.0							Items have been given in-game names. The block has been named "Stone Stairs".
1.6			Test Build 3				The light transparency of stone stairs from Alpha v1.2.2 has been fixed.
							The inventory icon for stone stairs has been reversed.

							The texture of stone stairs has been changed due to the cobblestone texture change.
1.8			Pre-release				On some GPUs, a major lighting bug is present which causes the insides of stone stair blocks to appear completely black.

							Stone stairs now generate in strongholds.
Java Edition
1.0.0			Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6				Stone stairs now drop themselves when mined, instead of a block of their source material.
							Stone stairs take much shorter to destroy, and the breaking time depends on the pickaxe's material.
1.2.1			12w08a				Added upside down stone stairs.
							The model of stone stairs have been changed.
1.3.1			12w22a				Stone stairs now generate in jungle temples.
			12w25a				Redstone dust, repeaters, torches, levers, pressure plates and rails can now be placed on stone stairs positioned upside down.
			12w30a				Upside down stone stairs can now be placed by generally looking at the top half of the side of a block, rather than strictly the underside of one.
1.4.2			12w34a				Stone stairs now automatically change shape into corner stairs depending on location.
			12w39a				Stone stairs now interact properly with lighting.

1.9			15w31a				Cobblestone stairs are now rotated 90° in the inventory.
			15w44b				Due to model changes, cobblestone stairs now display an incorrectly stretched or squashed texture. This may be GPU dependent as only corner stairs are distorted on some computers.
			15w45a				The cobblestone stair texture is no longer incorrectly stretched.
							However it is now incorrectly mapped in a different way.
			15w46a				Cobblestone stair texture mapping has now been corrected. It is not known, however, if cobblestone stairs from this version onward look at all different from those before 15w44b.
1.11			16w39a				Cobblestone stairs now generate in woodland mansions.
1.12			17w15a				Torches can now be placed on the full-block sides of cobblestone stairs.
							Iron bars, glass panes and fences adjacent to the full-block side of cobblestone stairs now visually connect.
							Carpet and snow layers can now be placed on top of upside down cobblestone stairs.
1.13			18w10c				Water can now be placed on the same block as cobblestone stairs.
1.14			18w43a				The texture of cobblestone stairs has been changed.
			18w46a				Cobblestone stairs now allow light to pass through certain faces.
