Block Cutter
by DominoWWW
Block Cutter lets a stonecutter produce several related blocks at once, so a single cut can yield slabs, stairs, walls and trapdoors from a plank or a log.
What it does
Block Cutter extends the stonecutter with extra conversions. One plank can be cut into two slabs, one stair and two trapdoors, and logs and wood can be converted in the same way. Other cuts cover the wider set of building blocks, so crafting slabs, stairs and walls back into their base blocks is also covered.
The mod is a server-side addition: the server needs it, while players may add it for the same features without changing how they join. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the Data pack option also listed, and files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 across 12 release versions. Its code is open source under the MIT License, and source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are public.

Use cases
Building with plank-based blocks
Builders who need many slabs, stairs and trapdoors from the same wood can cut them in fewer steps at the stonecutter.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want stonecutter conversions beyond the vanilla recipes, and builders who cut large amounts of wood and stone into building blocks.
How it compares
Better Recipes is for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt on 1.21.2 – 26.3, where the server must run it and clients may leave it out, under a custom license that is not open source. Wood Cutter is open source under the MIT License and works on 1.13 – 1.16.5, so it covers older versions than Block Cutter. Easy Recipes is also server required and client optional, under the MIT License, and covers 1.20 – 1.21.10 without being open source.
