- "An easier path."
A set of stairs is a special item for quick diagonal travel. They are made on multiple crafting surfaces and of various materials. They were introduced in version 1.5.
Appearance
All stairs have as a minimum a set of three squares in a diagonal through a one-block space. As an icon or when placed with solid blocks both below and to the side, they will appear to fill the area they cover as well. Their color is dependent on what block they were crafted from.
Placed stairs have a default of going from the lower left to upper right. When another set of stairs is diagonally adjacent, both will realign to form a continuous set. This can be affected by adjacent solid blocks or stairs in two different diagonals.
Where Found
There are several crafting surfaces that can make stairs, each according to the type of block to be used.
Various types of metal stairs are made with a metalwork bench or electric metalwork bench. Wood and brick stairs are crafted at the woodwork bench and the kiln, respectively. Only the various types of stone and ice require a specialized crafting bench, the stonemason's bench.
There are no stairs made of dirt, sand, black sand, compost, glass, black glass, or reinforced platforms.

Use
No matter what the materials, all stairs are placed and removed as easily as any decorative item by just tapping on the space. There must be a back wall or underlying solid block.
Proper placement of stairs is in the block spaces that will be used by a blockhead's feet. The top of the stairs should be level with the top of any solid block that will be stepped onto.
A blockhead will treat stairs as an open space unless it's trying to move diagonally. When a blockhead's path coincides with the presence of stairs, it will move quickly along the proper diagonal without interruption.
Stairs do not reduce the height of available open space or restrict the passage of light.
Notes
The first time a player has a blockhead travel across a set of stairs, they acquire the achievement "Step Up".
A blockhead using stairs does not easily transition between that and a ladder.
Ice stairs will melt into a half block of water if it is warm enough.
Animals will not use stairs. This allows them to be used in combination with other barriers to block animals but pass blockheads.
A horizontal series of stairs can function as an odd-looking walkway across a wide gap with back wall. Stairs will not work vertically.
