About Superior Stonecutter

From Modrinth

Adds additional vanilla-style balanced recipes for woodcutting, advanced recycling, and more. Includes built-in extensions to support various mods.

What is Superior Stonecutter?

Superior Stonecutter is an extensive stonecutter expansion datapack. It expands on the existing vanilla recipes by adding extra ways to craft things (from simple things like the highly requested deepslate cutting, to crazy stuff like crafting a stair into its slab equivalent). It also adds something I like to call "side-crafting", which is similar to uncrafting, but much more balanced. Superior Stonecutter also includes woodcutting functionality because Mojang won't give it to us. On top of all that, there's built-in compatibility for all your favorite mods!

See below for a more thorough dive into all the available features:

🔩Deepslate Cutting

This part is short but sweet. Adds the ability to cut normal deepslate instead of just cobbled deepslate.

🪚Woodcutting

Woodcutting allows your stonecutter to cut wood (it's in the name).

Put in a logs, planks, and even other wood block(see advanced recycling section) and craft anything from stairs to sticks!

Includes proper balancing for the halved crafting output of bamboo.

♻Advanced Recycling

Advanced Recycling is where I try to bring some real world logic into funny block game. You should be able to turn a stair into a slab, and now you can!

You can even recycle it all the way down to sticks if you're using a wood item.

And it's all balanced with math that occasionally hurt my brain to do (3 doors and 2 trapdoors cost the same amount to craft in a crafting table in vanilla Minecraft. Why??? How am I supposed to balance that 😭)

🛠️Side-crafting

Side-crafting allows you to switch between block variants in a balanced way.

For example, you can turn deepslate bricks into tiles or polished deepslate and turn it back.

This feature is also supported with blocks like stairs, slabs, and walls!

⛏️Copper

Why is copper in its own section? Because its got some special features just for it!

Normally, the only way to remove wax or an oxidization layer from copper is with an axe. This can take a while if you have a lot of copper blocks. But now, it doesn't have to.

If your copper block is waxed, run it through the stonecutter to remove the wax.

Then you can run it through the stonecutter more to remove oxidization layers. (You can remove one at a time)
