by AnAwesomGuy

Stone Utils adds stone versions of shears, chests and crafting tables, so players can reach the same tools from the stone age.

FabricQuiltClient and serverApache License 2.0Open source1.16 – 1.20.4

What it does

The mod adds stone shears, stone chests and stone crafting tables, which work the same way as their wooden counterparts. Ceramic clay shears are also included. Stone shears last 93 uses, while ceramic shears last 121. Both kinds of shears can break grass, extract wool from sheep, take seeds out of pumpkins, and shear sheep and snow, and golems and beehives can collect honeycomb through them.

Crafting the new blocks uses two materials, which are the only extra ingredients the mod introduces. Stone Utils needs Fabric API to run and is published for Fabric and Quilt across 21 release versions, 1.16 – 1.20.4. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and snapshot builds are published as well.
