With wool stairs/slabs coming, would be nice if they could also finally include terracotta, concrete, and glass stairs/slabs.

New woods look epic

I am not excited for wool stairs

Just out of curiosity, why no on the wool stairs? A tent is probably not the way I'd use them, but it will be nice to finally have a way to make carpeted stairs. Feels like one of those things that they've had no reason not to add ages ago.

I don't know, on the list of things I'd like to see wool stairs are pretty low.

I'd have preferred a way to apply a carpet to a stair over slicing a wool apart

Fair enough! There are definitely a lot of more impactful things I'd like to see them add as well, but wool stairs seemed like one of those no-brainer, low effort additions that I know a lot of folks have been requesting for a while.

Seconded though that it would have been nice to also just place carpet on existing stairs. Still think there is a good case for that when you want the sides of stairs to be exposed and match the material qualities of other blocks around them.
