Stonecutter Wand
by riciJak
Stonecutter Wand is a NeoForge tool for swapping block variants in the world without opening a crafting menu, and it is published for 1.21.1 only.
What it does
A compact builder tool cycles blocks in the world using the stonecutter recipes that Minecraft already defines. Right-clicking a block steps it through its related variants, so a stair can become a slab, a polished block or another member of the same family without a crafting menu. The variant groups come from the game's own recipe system rather than from a hardcoded list, so the tool follows the families the recipes define.
A player binds the wand to a block by sneak-right-clicking it, and later sneak-right-clicking other blocks transforms them into the bound type when they match. This suits palette cleanup and keeping a build consistent, since a whole wall or floor can be converted one block at a time. Stairs and other directional blocks keep their facing when they change, so lines and corners stay aligned without manual fixing. The tool supports multi-block work, and its tooltip shows the bound block, the current mode and the variants available.
Stonecutter Wand is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. It is released for NeoForge only, with a single file, 0.1.0 for 1.21.1, published on 2025-10-17. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code is publicly available.

How it compares
Simplywands is client and server, open source under the MIT License and published for NeoForge 1.21.1, and it covers a wider set of wands than this tool does. Air Placement Wand Lite is also client and server and MIT-licensed for 1.21.1, but it places blocks in the air rather than swapping existing ones. Dual Wielding Sword Shields targets 1.21.4 and is not open source, so it does not cover the 1.21.1 builds that Stonecutter Wand supports.
