StoneCutter damage fix
by jfd-jgd
StoneCutter damage fix restores the damage that a stonecutter block was meant to deal to entities standing on it, a behavior vanilla Minecraft lost.
What it does
In vanilla Minecraft the stonecutter block visually rotates its blade but does not hurt anything on it. This mod repairs that omission, so a player or mob standing on a stonecutter receives damage as it did when the block first worked. The fix applies to passive, hostile and other mob types, and it also covers stonecutters placed on walls and ceilings, where the damage is kept.
The change is limited to restoring the missing damage. It adds no new blocks, items or menus, and it does not extend block placement the way Additional Placements does for stonecutters alone. Installation requires no configuration, and the mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the 2.0.0 release adds improved placement. Mechanics only work on the versions the files target, which is why the newest release is limited to Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.11.
The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. It was first published on 2025-09-15 and last updated on 2026-09-09.
