Stoneworks FAQ
20 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using Stoneworks Mod?
You need access to a stonecutter, which is a vanilla block. Place one down and interact with it to see all the stone variations you can craft from your vanilla stone blocks—no special recipes or crafting table needed.
Can I make stairs and slabs from every stone type in this mod?
Most stone variations can be crafted into stairs, slabs, and walls, but not all of them. Check the stonecutter interface for each block to see which forms are available.
What stone types does Stoneworks add variations for?
The mod adds variations for all vanilla stone types, including stone, deepslate, blackstone, and other stone variants already in Minecraft. Each gets the full treatment with cobbled versions, bricks, tiles, pillars, shingles, and more.
Do I need a special crafting recipe or just the stonecutter?
Everything is crafted directly in the stonecutter—no special recipes or additional crafting tables required. Just place your stone block in the stonecutter and select the variation you want.
Can I use these blocks with other mods that add stairs and slabs?
Yes, Stoneworks blocks work alongside other mods. However, if another mod also adds variations for the same stone types, you may see duplicate options in the stonecutter.
What's the difference between cobbled, bricks, and tiles?
These are different decorative variations of the same stone type. Cobbled has a rougher appearance, bricks are rectangular blocks, and tiles are smaller square patterns—all serve different aesthetic purposes for building.
Do shingles work as roofing blocks or are they just decorative?
Shingles are primarily decorative blocks designed to look like roof tiles. They have the same properties as other stone blocks and can be used in stairs and slabs for sloped roof designs.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Stoneworks Mod is lightweight and only adds block variations without complex mechanics. Performance impact should be minimal, though having many decorative blocks in a world uses more memory like any other blocks would.
Can I convert these blocks back to regular stone?
No, the stonecutter is a one-way conversion tool. Once you craft a variation, you cannot convert it back to the original stone block through the mod.
Do I need to enable this mod in a specific way or does it work automatically?
Once installed, Stoneworks works automatically—just load your world and access the stonecutter. There are no configuration steps or toggles needed to start using the new stone variations.
