Invalid Data Value Wooden Slab

Invalid data value wooden slabs are item forms of the wooden slab block with damage values outside of the usual range which wooden slabs can usually be obtained in.

Obtaining[]

Without the use of commands, invalid data value wooden slabs are unobtainable in the last versions in which they existed without inheriting them from a prior version in which they were obtainable.

Transmutation[]

Block transmutation with doors can be used to obtain wooden slabs with metadata 6 to 7, and with arrows can be used to obtain blocks with metadata 6, 7, 14 and 15. These blocks can be mined in 14w21b or earlier^[verify] to obtain wooden slabs with values 6 and 7.

Usage[]

Conversion to future versions[]

History[]

Java Edition
1.3.1		12w17a			Proper wooden slabs have been added as a replacement for what would later become the petrified oak slab. Invalid data variants exist as a consequence of how item metadata is handled.
1.7.2		1.7			Acacia and dark oak slabs have been properly implemented, taking up metadata values 4 and 5 and making these normally obtainable. The remaining invalid values are 6 and 7.
1.8		14w25a			With the introduction of data-driven item models, any item with a data value outside of what is accepted by the game has no model to point to, resulting in use of the missing item model.
					Invalid data value wooden slab items now place the oak slab, rather than the block with a metadata value corresponding to the item's damage.
					Existing wooden slabs placed in the world with metadata 6, 7, 14 and 15 now drop the oak slab as an item, rather than the item corresponding to their metadata value.
		14w30a			Invalid data value wooden slabs, alongside other invalid data value items, now appear the size of a full block when held in third person or by another player or mob.
1.9		15w31a			The missing model's inventory appearance has changed, resulting in the appearance of invalid data value wooden slabs also changing.
					The items also appear the size of a full block when held in first person and when dropped on the ground, and also appear larger than before in an item frame.
1.13		17w43a			The missing texture has changed, resulting in the appearance of invalid data value wooden slabs also changing.
		17w47a			Numeric IDs for blocks and items have been completely removed from the game. As a result, invalid data value wooden slabs have been "removed" as they now convert into oak slab items.[verify]

From version		Damage value										Notes
		6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15
1.3.1	12w17a
	[more information needed]											Items 8 to 11 use the textures for the corresponding top slab.
	12w22a											All 3D items in the inventory have been rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise.
1.4.2	12w34a											Items appeared slightly darker in the player's inventory than in chests prior to this version.
1.7.2	1.7											Acacia and dark oak slabs have been implemented.
1.8	14w10a											Invalid wooden slab item forms now appear in the top half of the slot. 6-7 and 14-15 are now 2D.
	14w25a											Model no longer exists
1.9	15w31a											The missing model is no longer rotated or downscaled.
1.13	17w43a											The missing texture has changed.

Placed form

As invalid data blocks were effectively deleted in 1.8, considerably before invalid data value items, the block form is documented in the section below.

Java Edition
1.3.1		12w17a			Proper wooden slabs have been added as a replacement for what would later become the petrified oak slab. Invalid data variants exist as a consequence of how block metadata is handled.
1.8		14w10a			Wooden slabs in the world with metadata 6, 7, 14 and 15 now have no model . The particles of the block are still that of oak planks.
		14w25a			Invalid data value wooden slabs placed in the world now use missing texture particles, rather than the particles of oak planks.
					Like with other blocks that use the missing model, invalid data value wooden slabs now display the cracking animation correctly.
		14w26a			Invalid data value wooden slabs placed in the world now act identically to air, and cannot be interacted with or placed with commands.[verify]
		?			Invalid data value wooden slabs in placed form have now been completely removed - they no longer act as air, and will not show up if worlds in this version are downgraded to 14w25b or earlier.

Issues[]

Invalid data value wooden slabs are an issue, and due to their removal, can be considered already fixed.
