OmniCut: Better Wood, Copper, and Stone Cutter

OmniCut Better Stonecutter, Woodcutter, Coppercutter and Recycling ==================================================================

OmniCut is a quality of life Datapack for Minecraft that expands on the capabilities of the Stonecutter block.

• Woodcutting from logs: including shelves (1.21.10) and all wood types from 1.21 (Pale Oak, Bamboo, Cherry, Mangrove, etc.)
• Copper cutting: including oxidized copper doors, trapdoors, bars, rods, chains (1.21.10).
• Deepslate cutting: produce the same outputs as cobbled deepslate using the deepslate block directly.
• Recycling: recycle stone, wood, copper produces to base blocks.

Cutting

---

Wood Cutting

The Stonecutter can cut wood logs into a variety of wood products (e.g., stairs, slabs, fences, doors, etc.) Prices are consistent with the plank-based crafting recipe. Logs can be converted to Woods (at a discount).

Copper cutting

The Stonecutter can cut Copper block variants into the corresponding Cut Copper Stairs and Slabs variants, as well as oxidized, waxed doors, trapdoors, Bars, Rods, Chains.

Deepslate conversion

The Stonecutter can convert Deepslate blocks to Deepslate produces (e.g., Deepslate Tile Stairs), just like Cobbled Deepslate.

Recycling

Stone upcycling

The Stonecutter can revert cut blocks into the original form (e.g., Polished Andesite Stairs back to an Andesite block).

Note that similarly to Polished and Bricks variants, Smooth and Cracked variants can also convert to the base block, but _remember that the only way to smooth or crack a stone is using the furnace._

Wood recycling

Both the Stonecutter and the crafting table can be used to downcycle/recycle wood products (e.g., doors to planks, slabs to sticks, etc.)

Slab reassembly

The Crafting Table can reassemble slabs into blocks. The recipe is two slabs side-by-side horizontally.

About Item Pricing

---

Unlike many predecessors, this datapack does not intend to significantly reduce the price of items compared to vanilla pricing. The prices have been set so that, beside the customary discount on stairs, the prices are identical when using the Stonecutter versus the crafting table recipe (when possible). This is only a quality of life change w.r.t. the number of clicks required to create the items, and to reduce the number of leftover junk items by providing a balanced recycling option.

All recycling cost are adjusted to the discounted prices, so that it is not possible to dupe planks/sticks.

Detailed Discount Prices

Rounded down prices

Due to rounding, it is not always possible to use the crafting table pricing. Here is a complete list of discounted items:

1. Stairs: cost 1 plank (same discount as Vanilla stones.)
2. Wood blocks: cost 1 log (crafting table cost is 4 logs for 3 woods.)
3. Boats: cost 4 planks (crafting table cost is 5 planks.)
4. Signs: cost 2 planks (crafting table cost is 6 planks, 1 stick for 3 signs,

thus the total discount is 1 stick.)

1. fence: cost 4/3 planks (crafting table cost is 4 planks, 2 sticks for 3 fences,

thus the total discount is 2 sticks.)

Bamboo

In addition, bamboo producing only 2 planks per bamboo blocks causes the additional price adjustments discounts, making bamboo fence and rafts very price attractive compared to wood-based equivalent:

1. Bamboo raft: cost 2 planks (crafting table cost is 5 planks.)
2. Bamboo fence: cost 1 plank (crafting table cost is 4 planks 2 sticks for 3 fences,

thus total discount 1 plank, 2 sticks.)

1. Bamboo fence gate: cost 2 planks (crafting table cost is 2 planks, 4 sticks,

thus total discount is 4 sticks.)

Copper

Copper doors and trapdoors are also slightly cheaper:

1. 5 Copper doors: cost 1 copper block (crafting table cost is 6 ingots for 3 doors, so 2 blocks produce 9 non-oxidized doors in the crafting table, 2 blocks produce 10 oxidized/waxed doors in accordance to source material with the stonecutter.)
2. 4 copper trapdoors: cost 1 copper block (crafting table cost is 6 ingots for 2 trapdoors, so 2 blocks produce 6 non-oxidized trapdoors in the crafting table, 2 blocks produce 8 oxidized/waxed trapdoors in accordance to source material with the stonecutter.)

Notes and rationale

---

1. Chest/Barrel from logs recipes have not been added, because they would

result in cutting the Vanilla pricing in half.

1. To avoid conflicting with the recipe for Chiseled blocks, the recipe to

reassemble Slabs into a block is 2-slabs side-by-side horizontally, rather than stacked.

1. You can recycle many wood items into planks and sticks, but you can never

get back a log.

1. You can recycle a Smooth or Cracked stone to its base block, but Smooth and

Cracked stones can only be obtained from heat-cycling them in the furnace, and is thus not directly reversible.

1. You can craft a Stone Button on the Stonecutter, but not a Stone Pressure

Plate, as that would result in cutting Vanilla pricing in half. You can recycle both in the Stonecutter.

1. You cannot recycle fences and fence gates to planks, but only to sticks. This

is to avoid enabling reforming sticks into planks.
