OmniCut Better Stonecutter, Woodcutter, and Recycling

OmniCut is a quality of life Datapack for Minecraft that expands on the capabilities of the Stonecutter block.

Now with support for 1.20 Cherry and Bamboo!

Cutting

Wood Cutting

The Stonecutter can cut wood logs into a variety of wood products (e.g., stairs, slabs, fences, doors, etc.) Prices are consistent with the plank-based crafting recipe. Logs can be converted to Woods (at a discount).

Copper cutting

The Stonecutter can cut Copper block variants into the corresponding Cut Copper Stairs and Slabs variants.

Deepslate conversion

The Stonecutter can convert Deepslate blocks to Cobbled Deepslate blocks.

Recycling

Stone upcycling

The Stonecutter can revert cut blocks into the original form (e.g., Polished Andesite Stairs back to an Andesite block).

Note that similarly to Polished and Bricks variants, Smooth and Cracked variants can also convert to the base block, but remember that the only way to smooth or crack a stone is using the furnace.

Wood recycling

Both the Stonecutter and the crafting table can be used to downcycle/recycle wood products (e.g., doors to planks, slabs to sticks, etc.)

Slab reassembly

The Crafting Table can reassemble slabs into blocks. The recipe is two slabs side-by-side horizontally.

About Item Pricing

Unlike many predecessors, this datapack does not intend to significantly reduce the price of items compared to vanilla pricing. The prices have been set so that, beside the customary discount on stairs, the prices are identical when using the Stonecutter versus the crafting table recipe. This is only a quality of life change w.r.t. the number of clicks required to create the items, and to reduce the number of leftover junk items by providing a balanced recycling option.

Due to rounding, it is not always possible to use the crafting table pricing. Here is a complete list of discounted items:

1. Stairs: cost 1 plank (same discount as Vanilla stones.)
2. Wood blocks: cost 1 log (crafting table cost is 4 logs for 3 woods.)
3. Boats: cost 4 planks (crafting table cost is 5 planks.)
4. Signs: cost 2 planks (crafting table cost is 6 planks, 1 stick for 3 signs, thus the total discount is 1 stick.)
5. fence: cost 4/3 planks (crafting table cost is 4 planks, 2 sticks for 3 fences, thus the total discount is 2 sticks.)

In addition, bamboo producing only 2 planks per bamboo blocks causes the additional price adjustments discounts, making bamboo fence and rafts very price attractive compared to wood-based equivalent:

1. Bamboo raft: cost 2 planks (crafting table cost is 5 planks.)
2. Bamboo fence: cost 1 plank (crafting table cost is 4 planks 2 sticks for 3 fences, thus total discount 1 plank, 2 sticks.)
3. Bamboo fence gate: cost 2 planks (crafting table cost is 2 planks, 4 sticks, thus total discount is 4 sticks.)

All recycling cost are adjusted to the discounted prices, so that it is not possible to dupe planks.

Notes

1. Chest/Barrel from logs recipes have not been added, because they would result in cutting the Vanilla pricing in half.
2. To avoid conflicting with the recipe for Chiseled blocks, the recipe to reassemble Slabs into a block is 2-slabs side-by-side horizontally, rather than stacked.
3. You can recycle many wood items into planks and sticks, but you can never get back a log.
4. You can recycle a Smooth or Cracked stone to its base block, but Smooth and Cracked stones can only be obtained from heat-cycling them in the furnace, and is thus not directly reversible.
5. You can craft a Stone Button on the Stonecutter, but not a Stone Pressure Plate, as that would result in cutting Vanilla pricing in half. You can recycle both in the Stonecutter.
6. You cannot recycle fences and fence gates to planks, but only to sticks. This is to avoid enabling reforming sticks into planks.
