Stonecutter Damage Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Do stonecutters damage the player?
Yes, stonecutters deal damage to players just like they do to mobs. You'll take 1 point of damage each time you walk across one, so be careful when building with them or use them intentionally as a hazard.
Can I use stonecutters to kill mobs automatically?
Yes, stonecutters deal continuous damage to any mob that walks on them, making them useful for mob grinders and traps. Mobs will take damage each tick they spend on the block, though tougher mobs may require additional damage sources to be defeated quickly.
Do stonecutters work on flying mobs?
No, flying mobs won't take damage from stonecutters since they don't actually walk on the block. You'll need to force them down or use a different damage method for aerial mobs.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is designed to be lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable performance problems. Damage calculations are simple and only trigger when mobs are actually on the block, so even large trap setups should run smoothly.
Can I still use stonecutters for crafting?
Yes, stonecutters function normally for crafting and cutting blocks. The damage effect only applies when creatures walk on top of the block, not when you interact with it as a crafting station.
What's the best way to make a mob farm with stonecutters?
Create a funnel or channel that forces mobs to walk across stonecutter blocks, then collect the drops below. Combining stonecutters with fall damage or other hazards will speed up mob elimination.
Do baby mobs take the same damage as adults?
All mobs take the same 1 point of damage from stonecutters regardless of size or age, so baby mobs are affected equally.
Can I use stonecutters underwater?
Yes, stonecutters work underwater and will damage any mob that walks on them, making them useful for aquatic mob traps or underwater base defenses.
Do stonecutters work with other mods' mobs?
Stonecutters damage any mob that walks on them, including those from other mods, as long as they use standard Minecraft mob mechanics for movement and collision.
How do I protect myself from stonecutter damage in my base?
Avoid walking directly on stonecutters, or use alternative paths around them. You can also place other blocks on top of stonecutters to create a safe walkway while keeping the damage effect active underneath.
