Minecraft players who are really into creating will want to get as creative as possible when working on a new building. This means delving deep into the game's mechanics, using materials such as terracotta to add a lot of visual interest to their creations. Players who really get into exploring more complex builds will want to get their hands on a stonecutter.
In Minecraft, the stonecutter is used to craft stone-related blocks and will often allow players to skip steps when it comes to making more complex pieces. All recipes that can be made through the stonecutter require just a single ingredient and will produce a single product, giving perfect one-for-one production values. Overall, it is a more efficient method of crafting some of the more complex stone-related recipes in the game.
How to Make a Stonecutter in Minecraft
The first thing players will need to create their own stonecutter is iron ore. Iron ore can be easily found in caves while mining. The iron ore can then be turned into an iron ingot using a furnace or blast furnace. Once the iron ore has been made, it can be combined in a crafting table with three pieces of stone to create the stonecutter. The stone should be placed across the three squares of the bottom row, with the iron ingot placed in the central square.
To create new blocks, players can then place the stonecutter on the ground and then add some stone blocks to their new device. A range of different icons will populate in the stonecutter menu for each block that can be created, and players can click on it to make the corresponding block.
The best thing about the stonecutter is that it is a real time-saver, allowing players to make complex blocks quickly. This gives them more time to hunt down the rarest items in the game, explore the Nether, or tending to the animals and crops on their farms.
While many of the very best builds in Minecraft are done in creative mode, for players who are looking to build brilliant houses in survival mode, the stonecutter is a must-have item. Thanks to the reduction in steps when it comes to making complex objects, players will save a huge amount of time while working on their builds. Best of all, players will not need to remember the individual crafting recipes for these complex blocks and can just make them with a single click in the stonecutter.
Minecraft is available now on Mobile, PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One.
