Stonecutter

The stonecutter can be used to craft stone-related blocks in smaller and more precise quantities than crafting. It also serves as a stone mason's job site block.

Natural generation
Stonecutters can generate inside stone mason houses in villages.

From block loot
Stonecutters can be obtained from mining with any tool, but pickaxes are the fastest tool to use.

Breaking
Stonecutters can be broken by hand.

Cutting
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; this would require multiple steps with crafting. Stairs' recipes are also more efficient than their crafting counterparts (yielding 6 stairs from 6 blocks instead of 4.)

Nether brick fences cannot be crafted using the stonecutter.

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.
