by SpeedyPL

Simple Woodcutter adds a woodcutter block that behaves much like a stonecutter, but turns wood into other wood-based items in a single click.

What it does

The woodcutter block works through a set of recipes for wood items, and the mod ships with more than 100 built-in recipes. Its main purpose is to make some crafts quicker, since a player picks the output with one button instead of crafting by hand. The mod also adds a single planks block, so wood left over after crafting has a place to go, and it can even turn a boat back into five planks, which recovers most of the wood used to build it.

Recipes can be added by other mods or by a datapack, so custom wood types and custom recipes can be used with the woodcutter. The recipes are also listed in a recipe viewer, where a dedicated woodcutting category shows them, and the mod includes a compatibility layer for recipe viewer users. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, and requires Fabric API on Fabric. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the MIT License.
