How to Craft Chests Directly from Logs or Planks

Skipping the Crafting Table Setup

Making chests normally requires two separate steps at a Crafting Table: converting raw logs into planks, and then dragging planks into an eight-slot ring across the crafting grid. With Cuttable Wood Data Pack installed, you can skip the Crafting Table altogether and make chests straight inside a Stonecutter.

Making Chests in the Stonecutter

1. Place down a Stonecutter and right-click it to open the menu.

2. Put either a plank or a log directly into the left input slot. You do not need to turn raw logs into planks beforehand.

3. Find and click the Chest icon inside the center recipe panel.

4. Pull the crafted Chest from the right output slot into your inventory.

This shortcut is especially helpful when building large storage rooms or sorting systems on the go. Instead of opening a Crafting Table and arranging planks repeatedly, you can drop freshly chopped logs straight into the Stonecutter, select the Chest recipe once, and Shift-click the output slot whenever you need quick storage.
