Maximize Efficiency by Choosing Stonecutter Over Crafting
When to Use the Stonecutter
The stonecutter is now more versatile than ever. Understanding when to use it instead of crafting recipes saves resources and time.
Efficiency Comparison
1. Check available recipes: Open your stonecutter and see what variants it can produce from your input block
2. Compare to crafting: Traditional crafting recipes often require multiple blocks or additional ingredients
3. Use stonecutter when: You want a single output variant from one input block with no waste
4. Use crafting when: You need multiple variants at once or the stonecutter doesn't support that block type
Best Practices
- The stonecutter works for deepslate, wood, copper, and standard stone variants
- Stonecutting produces 1:1 conversions (1 input block = 1 output block in most cases)
- Set up multiple stonecutters near your building area for quick access
- This mod eliminates the need to hoard multiple block variants—cut them as needed
