Stonecutter

A stone cutter is a crafting block who's primary use is for crafting stone and stone-related items, such as block of quartz, sandstone, stone bricks, stairs, slabs, and bricks. The stone cutter was created to remove blocks from the crafting table menu and the inventory crafting menu. It will be removed once the MATTIS system is discontinued.

The stonecutter is crafted with four cobblestone. However, a crafting table is still needed to craft it as it is necessary to craft a pickaxe to mine stone.

Trivia

 * The texture for the stonecutter appears to use the furnace texture as a base, with a few additions.
