The swaggiest stairs ever is an April Fools joke block. It is a netherite block variant of stairs, added in Java Edition 20w14∞.
Obtaining
This block is available in the Creative inventory, and naturally generates in the "missing" dimension. It is also seen in other dimensions, one of which is the "gallery" dimension, although it is difficult to find the stairs hidden among thousands of other blocks.
Breaking
This block requires a diamond or netherite pickaxe to mine. If it is mined with anything else, it drops nothing.

- incorrect tool, drops nothing
- correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
- correct tool, drops the block itself
- italicized can be instant mined
- ↑ These durations ignore other influential factors (e.g. Mining Fatigue), and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
Note: No version exists with both copper tools and this block, but the breaking time can be calculated from the block's hardness.
Natural generation
This block naturally generates in the "missing" dimension as the stairs leading up to the chest containing the footprints. 7 stairs generate here.
