Cubestone
Cubestone is a special type of stone discovered (accidentally) and named by Fubaka on the 4th of January, 2012 while making some repairs from WorldEdit.
Properties
Cubestone looks practically identical to Stone Slabs. The only difference is that when joined, it makes an uncreased whole block, and when in half, it looks like that same block cut in half. It shares the same name as Stone Slab in the inventory, but does not stack with Stone Slabs.
Obtaining Cubestone
Cubestone is impossible to obtain naturally. However, if one brings stone slabs to Fubaka or any other Moderator +, they could convert it to Cubestone for you. Just remember not to confuse your Cubestone Slabs with regular Stone Slabs, as, stated earlier, they share the same name in the inventory.
(A single block of Cubestone.)
Later, Fubaka would design a logo for the wiki based off this mysterious block:
Netherslab Disaster of '12
After the seemingly innocent introduction of nether brick slabs in Minecraft 1.4.6 on December the 20th 2012, the data value for Cubestone was changed to suffix ":7" instead of ":6". While in itself only a minor change, this meant that all structures constructed using Cubestone were now made with netherbrick slabs instead.
The history of this disaster is still being written...
Trivia
- The discoverer of this block initially planned on calling it Fubakastone, but then decided not to be so egotistical.
- For Moderators + who want to spawn Cubestone, type /i slab:6 <number> to get it.
- Fubaka uses vader369's Evil Fire to temper stone slabs into Cubestone. Side effects have been reported to include nightmares given to those who sleep near the stone, and a strange evil aura coming from the blocks.
- On the Minecraft Wiki, Cubestone is known as Block 446.
