The **stonecutter** is used to craft stone and copper related blocks in smaller and more precise quantities than crafting, and is more efficient than crafting for certain recipes. It also serves as a stone mason's job site block.

## Obtaining

### Natural generation

Stonecutters can generate inside stone mason houses in villages.

### Breaking

A stonecutter can be mined with any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe it drops nothing.‌{{#vardefine:$title|This statement only applies to {{#vardefine: editions}}{{#vardefine:nosuffix}}{{#vardefine:nosuffix-1}}{{#vardefine:nosuffix+1}}{{#vardefine:nosuffix+2}}{{#fornumargs: argnum | argval | {{#vardefine:game-{{#var:argnum}}}}

## Usage

### Cutting

 File:Stonecutter GUI Stone.png
The stonecutter can be used as an alternative to the crafting table to craft most stone related blocks. All of its recipes require just one ingredient and produces one product (in varying quantities). It allows skipping steps to craft certain blocks: for example, a stone block can be directly turned into chiseled stone bricks, but requiring multiple steps with crafting. Recipes for stairs are also more efficient than their crafting counterparts: on a crafting table, 6 stone blocks are crafted into 4 stairs, while stonecutter yields 1 stair per stone block.

### Changing profession

If a village has a stonecutter that has not been claimed by a villager, any nearby villager who has not yet chosen a job site block has a chance to change their profession to a stone mason.

### Note Blocks

Stonecutter can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sound.

## Trivia

* Even though the iron blade appears to be spinning rapidly, it deals no damage and has no hitbox.
* A stonecutter is more efficient than a crafting table for making stairs, because the crafting table requires 1.5 blocks per stair (six blocks of stone to make four stairs) while the stonecutter requires just one block per stair.
* The stonecutter was most likely based on the old Bedrock Edition stonecutter, as it has similar functionality.
