Balance Wood Cutter

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.2⬇ Download for 1.19–1.19.3
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.

Minecraft recipes have problems with mathematics. You spend 6 oak planks to get 4 stairs. You spend more blocks to get fewer blocks, and the stairs also have less volume than solid planks. The same problem applies to a fence where 3 posts cost 5 planks, or a fencegate that takes 4 planks for 1 gate. The intermediate crafts of sticks further aggravates the situation. This wastes a lot of resources and time, especially when preparing for large projects.

And Mojang previously provided alternative recipes in Stone Cutter to solve these problems. And many other data packs picked up the idea, adding recipes for wood to the Stone Cutter. But these recipes are either too unbalanced or too inconvenient. Therefore, I provide my vision of recipes for the wood: Tree of wood recipes

I tried to maintain a balance between ease of construction: having 1 plank you have a choice of 9 building blocks: stairs, slabs, sign, fence, fencegate, button, pressure plate, door, trapdoor. And the cost of crafting: 6 stripped logs = 6 hanging signs, then all logs/wood can be used for hanging signs in this ratio; trapdoors, doors, fences, etc. are obtained in no more than one item. There are also no items that are too expensive and less popular in mass build: chests, лодки, composters or lecterns. And the entire craft process goes only in one direction: log to stripped, wood, stripped wood; stripped log to stripped wood; and all log/wood to planks or hanging signs.

Among other things, I have added recipes for buttons and pressure plates for stone and polished blackstone for the Cutter.

Thanks to this data pack for the starting point of my project.
