Stonecutter

A stonecutter is a crafting block which, when opened, allows for the crafting of 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. Though it will stay for awhile because of the speed MATTIS provides.

Crafting
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. It can be crafted without a crafting table.

Bugs

 * The stonecutter is known to disappear when the world is quit. When the world is returned to, all stonecutters on the map will be gone. This occurs in Creative and Survival. (This has been fixed as of the 0.6.1 bug fix update)

Trivia

 * The texture for the stonecutter appears to use the furnace texture as a base, with a few additions. It has a saw blade on it too.


 * The crafting table is not able to make stairs and the type anymore because of the stonecutter.


 * The StoneCutter is an idea from a Minecraft Forums user that was posted as a topic, then posted to the Atlassian Bugfixing website, after going through different stages of purpose it was then added a few months later, making it's first appearance in the 0.6.0 update.
