Stonecutter Overview

Inside the Stonemason’s house.

Stonecutter is one of the 13 Job site blocks Villager use to work. A Villager who works with Stonecutter is called Stonemason or Mason. You can always find Stonecutter inside the Stonemason’s house.

If there is an unemployed/jobless Villager standing near the Stonecutter, it will become Stonemason.

Stonecutter can be used to cut stone-type blocks to make new variations of the particular block. For example, a Stonecutter can make Stone Brick Stairs from a Stone.

These block variations are intended mainly for decoration purposes.

Crafting Table, however, can also make these block variations. But it’s not precise as the Stonecutter. 

Comparison between Crafting Table and Stonecutter.

For example, to make 1 Cobblestone Wall using Stonecutter, you need 1 Cobblestone. On the other hand, to make Cobblestone Wall on Crafting Table, you need 6 Cobblestones at a minimum, but you’ll get 6 Cobblestone as well.
