Woodcutter
This datapack adds the ability to cut all wood types into further processed forms like planks, stairs and slabs using the stonecutter.
Extensions
- Sticks n' stones (Adds sticks to the woodcutter's repertoire)
Recipes
I used oak wood as an example, but this works with all wood types.
The numbers varie a bit with Bamboo Blocks, because you only get 2 Bamboo planks from a Bamboo Block
I used mangrove wood as an example, but this works with all wood types.
Why I decided to do stuff the way I did
You might have wondered why you can't craft fences, fence gates, doors and trapdoors using planks in the stonecutter, but can with logs. The reason is that I decided that you should at max get 0.5 extra planks for using the stonecutter instead of the crafting table, as that's the max you get in vanilla, when crafting a stone stair that would cost 1.5 stones in a crafting table. Here's a table about the plank cost of every wooden block that further illustrates the point I'm trying to make here.
| item | planks needed for the recipe (including sticks [1 stick = 0.5 plank]) | recipe output | cost per block (in planks) |
|---|---|---|---|
| stair | 6 | 4 | 1.5 |
| slab | 3 | 6 | 0.5 |
| fence | 5 | 3 | ~1.7 |
| fence gate | 4 | 1 | 4 |
| door | 6 | 3 | 2 |
| trapdoor | 6 | 2 | 3 |
| pressure plate | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| button | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| sign | 6.5 | 3 | ~2.2 |
Hanging signs aren't on this table, because their crafting recipe includes chains.
You can now further craft shelves from logs and stripped logs 1:1, since their crafting recipe is 6:6. You cannot, however, craft them from wood blocks (bark on all sides), as there is no vanilla crafting recipe to convert a wood block back to a log.
If you dislike my decisions, I recommend you check out Taya's Woodcutter datapack which made some things different to this one.
