This is a specialized pick for making stairs. Don't worry about gathering material, crafting stairs then placing stairs. Just hit a block with this tool and it's becomes a stair node if it's a material that can be crafted into stairs. Supports the default stairs mod, and stairs+.

Cool idea, but not enough of a timesaver
The stair pick idea is nice, However, I was not able to create corner stairs or upside down stairs. This means I actually do have to craft and place stairs, which I wanted to avoid.
There is a slight visual flicker when a node is turned into a stair. I think this happens because the node is being removed before it is placed. Since the code is old (2013), I assume that back then it might have been necessary, but nowadays I would use
minetest.set_node()to get flicker-free stair picking.
