What are the best uses of a stonecutter in Minecraft?

#5 - Slabs

The stonecutter can quickly turn different types of blocks (not just stone blocks) directly into slabs.

Instead of requiring multiple blocks to create a slab, the stonecutter allows players to craft slabs with only one block, which can be useful in many situations.

#4 - Stairs

The stonecutter can be used to turn many blocks directly into stairs. If the player wants a more precise number of stairs, they can convert one block into one stair.

This method is more efficient than its crafting counterpart since it provides six stairs from six blocks instead of four.

The stonecutter can function as a Mason Villager job site in Minecraft. This means that any unemployed villager will transform into a Mason when standing next to a stonecutter.

An already converted Mason will move towards the stonecutter to perform their duties for the day.
