Use upside-down slabs for the second platform instead of full blocks for best results. Upside-down slabs occupy the top half of their block space rather than the bottom half. Place a slab upside-down, by right clicking the top half of the side of another block, if the player wishes to place it on the side of another double or single slab block.
