The Woodcutter
by ZAKHARYCH
Players who craft wooden items often lose planks to the recipe grid, and The Woodcutter addresses that with a block that converts wood into stairs, slabs, fences and other shapes.
What it does
The Woodcutter adds a block that processes logs, stripped logs and full wood blocks directly into finished furniture pieces such as stairs, slabs, fences, doors, trapdoors, gates, buttons and pressure plates. Each conversion is a single click, and Shift-click processes an entire stack at once. The recipes are set up so that the output uses the input material exactly, with no leftover items.
It is a functional counterpart to the Stonecutter for wood, which makes wooden builds quicker to assemble. The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, across 26.1 – 26.3, with the latest file for 26.3 dated 2026-09-21. The server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Wood processing block
A single block turns logs, stripped logs and wood blocks into stairs, slabs, fences and other wooden shapes.
Lower material cost
Recipes use one plank for a stair, where the vanilla grid needs six planks for four stairs, so no wood is wasted.
Bulk processing
Shift-click support lets players convert full stacks of material in one action.
Nether and bamboo wood
Crimson and Warped stems and Bamboo, including Bamboo Mosaic, can be processed alongside the standard wood types.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Survival and creative builders who work with wooden shapes, and server owners who want a single processing block for wood. The mod is not needed for standard crafting recipes that the player already uses.

Improved Stonecutter is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is built for Fabric across 1.21 – 26.2, targeting stone rather than wood. Kev's WoodMill is Fabric only, client and server, for 26.2 alone, and is not open source under All rights reserved.
