 Description   

Stairs and Slabs don't add shade/shadow

I expected the stairs and slabs to develop shading like the PC version, stairs and slabs are blocks and I thought they would appear to have shadow beneath it.

What actually happen was once I placed slabs as the second floor, I noticed there wasn't any source of shadow created. I tested out the stairs, same results.

1. Place a slab or stair at least to blocks from ground
2. Look beneath the slab or stair

Reopened.
In PC version the slabs and stairs are "transparent" but cast shadow.
See attached screenshots (observe the SL parameter)

@tommo: No, in the PC version stairs and slabs are treated as opaque blocks and don't let light through.
