As many of you know, vertical slabs have been requested for ages. Mojang would probably implement them, but there would be one issue: How do we place them?
Slabs in general are hard to place and vertical ones would be a mess. And if Mojang avoided that issue, they would have to create entirely new models, which is a big mess, and takes a lot of time.
So I made a solution - Quarter blocks!
These are Full block in length but half block high and wide. These could be rotated and placed on top of each other.
Imagine the possibilities!
Example is shown above (I cant stack them because I'm using sponge model as a placeholder)

It's hard to describe through typing (at least for me), but that system is what my thoughts have been for vertical slabs and why i've been wondering why they didn't add that type of system yet seeing as it's worked so well for other mods.
Alternatively, just have blocks which are 50% of the block space (just like slabs) and which can be placed 'directionally' like stars so they can adhere to any given face of the space they inhabit. So that would be possibilities for: one adhering to the northern side, the eastern side, the southern side, the western side... And then two options for combination blocks: the seam facing north-south or east-west. So it would only require 6 block 'forms'. Stairs have at least 15 or so block forms, so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible!
