DatapacksJava
Cuttable Wood
Makes wood blocks cuttable in the stonecutter, to make the crafting of wooden items more comfortable and sensible.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.


Features
In short, this adds stonecutting recipes for almost all wooden blocks. Some general things this datapack allows you to do:
- Use less wood crafting some wooden items (e.g. 1 plank -> 1 stair).
- Craft fences and signs directly from logs, without having to craft sticks first.
- Repurpose items, cutting them into smaller ones (e.g. doors into trapdoors; stairs into slabs, etc.).
- Convert fences into fence gates and viceversa.
- Strip huge amounts of wood faster than by hand.
For a full-ish list of recipes, please check my website. It would take too much space here.
There's an alternate, more over-powered version of this pack available for download in my website.
Notes
- This datapack was designed to be as balanced as possible while making it make sense. No recipe should be exploitable to get free items/blocks.
- However, it is possible to slightly exploit the recipes to get "free" fuel. I nerfed this down as much as possible, but this is also the case in vanilla crafting recipes (for example, by crafting logs into slabs you get 4x fuel), so I decided to not get rid of the possibility alltogether.
- The recipes were also designed taking into account Vanilla Tweak's Back to Blocks datapack, I recommend using that datapack along with this one to make the most efficient use of wooden blocks.
