Maximizing Copper Yields for Building Projects

Large construction projects requiring many copper doors or trapdoors can consume immense amounts of metal. Switching from a crafting table to a stonecutter drastically reduces this cost.

Why Use the Stonecutter Over the Crafting Table

When crafting normally on a 3x3 grid, copper doors and trapdoors require multiple pieces of material for a standard return. The stonecutter bypasses this inefficiency:

• It accepts single copper blocks directly.
• It outputs more doors and trapdoors per block than standard crafting recipes.
• It eliminates the material waste associated with crafting table recipes.

Bulk Processing Steps

1. Convert your mined copper into full copper blocks.

2. Take your stacks of copper blocks to a placed stonecutter.

3. Place a stack into the input slot.

4. Select the copper door or copper trapdoor icon.

5. Shift-click or collect the output items to rapidly process the entire stack.

Using this method stretches your copper reserves significantly further whenever you need doors or trapdoors for large architectural builds.
