Saw The Wood!
by MrMisc29
Saw The Wood! is a Forge quality-of-life mod that lets players convert wooden blocks into other wood variants with a saw tool, without working through several crafting recipes.
What it does
The mod adds a saw tool. Instead of crafting each wood shape through its own recipe, a player uses the saw on a wooden block to produce the variant needed for a build, and the change happens immediately. The author describes the goal as a simple tool that reduces crafting table clutter and speeds up building, especially for players who move through large stacks of wood.
The saw does not introduce new systems or complicated mechanics. It works on the existing wood types of the game and is meant for builders who want to spend less time switching between recipes. Because it converts blocks directly, a world played with the mod stays within the same wood economy as vanilla, with no extra resources added.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Saw tool
A saw converts wooden blocks into other wood variants with a single use, replacing a chain of crafting steps.
Wood variant cycling
Players can cycle through wood variants quickly, so a build can use a different wood without any duplication or penalty.
Less crafting table clutter
Wood shapes no longer need their own recipes at the crafting table, which keeps the crafting grid free for other work.
Simple mechanics
The tool adds no new systems, currencies or progression, so it stays small and predictable in both survival and creative play.
