However, I then asked him if a new kind of block could be created, the same as slabs, but always placed vertically. He didn't answer, for some reason, so I don't know whether such a thing would be doable, either for slabs or stairs. Slabs seems to me the more 'pressing' of the two, being far more useful in building.
