Stonecutters can be used by Minecraft players to transform a variety of different stone-related blocks into others. The majority of things that a player can craft at a Stonecutter can be done at a crafting table. However, it can save a lot of time and potentially extra resources to use a Stonecutter instead.

As an example, when a Minecraft player uses a crafting table to make stone stairs, it requires six blocks of stone and will, in turn, produce four stone stairs. However, if a Minecraft player were to use a Stonecutter instead, they would be able to transform each piece of stone into a stone stair. In the long run, this would save players a ton of resources.

In terms of saving time, a Stonecutter also allows players to skip some potential crafting steps that they would encounter when using a crafting table. The most well-known example is that a player can directly turn a stone block into chiseled stone bricks.

Crafting a Stonecutter is actually pretty simple. All a Minecraft player will need to do is combine three pieces of stone and a single iron ingot in a crafting table. Stonecutters can also randomly be generated in villages, as they are the job site block for stone masons.

Minecraft players should note that a pickaxe is required to mine and successfully gather a Stonecutter.
