I need to place hundreds of blocks and I do that easily with the fill command. But, I can't seem to fill an area with top slabs. I tried /fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 minecraft:stone_slab then I get bottom slabs placed.

In the 1.13 snapshot, use /fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 minecraft:oak_slab[type=top].

The problem here is that the command /fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 minecraft:stone_slab automatically means /fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 minecraft:stone_slab 0, the 0 is added. If you change this 0 to another value, the slab will change it's position; 8 is for the upper stone slabs:

/fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 minecraft:stone_slab 8

Note: This technique works only for Minecraft versions 1.12.2 and older. For newer versions, check out the other answer on this question.

As for top slabs, you can pretty much just tab the thing ingame. I did, and it worked out:

/fill {coördinates} {coördinates} minecraft:stone_slab[type=top]

I just tabbed in the command itself, but now you know it.

Yes, the way that you would do this is by using a square bracket at the end of your block type. If you want top slabs, it would be executed as /fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 minecraft:stone_slab[type=top]. If you want to find out some more things about /fill, this video will hopefully help:

None of the answers posted here work for me (Minecraft Bedrock 1.16+). I was searching forever to get this to work for me. I finally figured it out, and is kind of tricky. The various "original" stone slabs(stonebrick, andesite, cobble, etc.) are broken down into 4 groups(stone_slab, stone_slab2, etc.). There is an additional data value you need to get more specific(top, double)

This will give you mossy stone brick bottom slabs

  • /fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 stone_slab4

Whereas this will give you regular stone top slabs

  • /fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 stone_slab4 10

Use the various information in the slab article wiki to help build your command. Took me a lot of tries to get the regular stone upper slabs. The "Double Upper" used in the article is kind of a bad label as it seems to refer to the single upper slabs instead of 2 slabs together.

    As much as I appreciate you taking your time to figure your problem out yourself, the answers here aren't incorrect. since the question is tagged minecraft-java-edition. If you want, you can "ask" a new question regarding the same issue but for bedrock edition and answer it yourself to help others with your issue.

  • For my part, I am glad you posted this, because this page is the first search result for "bedrock fill bottom slab". It is what I was looking for, so I upvoted your answer. With the efforts underway to merge Bedrock and Java features, your answer should also apply to Java (but I have no idea if it does). And @Quijibo nobody said the answers here are incorrect. They just don't work for Bedrock. And that matters a lot, because Bedrock has the larger installed base.

I'm just going to be really straightforward, /fill x y z x y z slab ["top_slot_bit" : true ] NOTE: I do not know if this works for java edition, nor do I know if this works for lower versions (1.19 and below) This only for sure works on 1.20 bedrock edition
