A stonecutter is a block used to easily craft many stone and copper blocks, and is cheaper than normal crafting for stairs and copper variants. It is also a job site block for mason villagers.

Obtaining

Breaking

A stonecutter can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Stonecutters can generate inside mason houses in villages.

Usage

Cutting

Interface for the stonecutter in Java Edition, cutting a stone into two stone slabs

The stonecutter can be used as an alternative to the crafting table to craft most stone-related blocks. All of its recipes require just one ingredient and produce one product (in varying quantities). It allows skipping steps to craft certain blocks; for example, a stone block can be directly turned into chiseled stone bricks, something that requires multiple steps when crafting. It can also be used to cut brick related blocks, such as resin bricks.

Interface for the stonecutter on Bedrock Edition, cutting Stone into Cobblestone

Unique to the stonecutter is the ability to cut stone into cobblestone and its slab, stairs, and wall variants, and deepslate into cobbled deepslate, polished deepslate, deepslate bricks, deepslate tiles, and their slab, stairs, and wall variants.

Stonecutting is also more efficient than crafting for certain recipes. Crafting stairs is more efficient with a stonecutter than a crafting table, as 6 full blocks are crafted into 4 stairs, while stonecutter yields 1 stair per full block. The recipe for cut copper is even more efficient: with stonecutting, 1 block of copper turns into 4 blocks of cut copper, allowing the amount of copper blocks to be quadrupled.

The GUI contains a block selection menu that is empty. The menu is populated with blocks that can be crafted from that particular material, only if a block is inserted into its input.
