Stonecutter (old)

This article describes content that has been officially made unobtainable.

It can still be obtained using third-party software. However, this can cause unexpected behavior such as bugs and crashes.

This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition and New Nintendo 3DS Edition.

The stonecutter was a decorative block that had no other functions.

Obtaining[]

Stonecutters were available in the creative inventory‌^{[New Nintendo 3DS Edition only]}, by pick blocking an existing stonecutter in the world or by using third-party software.

Breaking[]

An old stonecutter required a pickaxe to be mined, in which case it dropped itself. If mined without a pickaxe, then the mining was slower and it dropped nothing.

History[]

Pocket Edition Alpha

v0.6.0 Added stonecutters. They can be obtained within the Creative inventory.

The stonecutter uses the Minecraft Advanced Touch Technology Interface System (MATTIS) crafting system, the same system used by the crafting table.

The stonecutter's crafting recipe is four cobblestone in 2×2 square.

The stonecutter is used to craft every stone-type block in Pocket Edition, except itself, furnaces, tools and mineral blocks.

Blocks crafted using the stonecutter (note: contains blocks introduced after v0.6.0)

v0.7.0 Corrected name from tile.stonecutter.name< to Stonecutter.

v0.9.0 build 1 The layout of the stonecutter interface has now been reorganized, with crafting descriptions no longer being displayed in it.

v0.13.0 build 1 All items are now crafted via crafting tables. As a result, the stonecutter has now been made unobtainable in survival and is now only used for decorative purposes.

Bedrock Edition

1.10.0 beta 1.10.0.3 There are two stonecutters in the creative inventory, the old stonecutter and the new stonecutter, if experimental gameplay is on.

With experimental gameplay enabled, searching for "stonecutter" using /give will now show the new stonecutter and the old stonecutter, named "Stonecutter" and "Stonecutter (old)" respectively.

1.11.0 ? Stonecutters have now been removed from the creative inventory and commands.^{[more information needed]}

New Nintendo 3DS Edition

0.1.0 Added stonecutters.

Stonecutters are only obtainable in the Creative inventory and used for decorative purposes.

Issues[]

Issues relating to "Stonecutter" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia[]

The stonecutter was originally added to Pocket Edition due to a lack of space in the Minecraft Advanced Touch Technology Interface System (MATTIS) crafting screen, prior to the redesign in v0.9.0 alpha.
The stonecutter has never been usable in New Nintendo 3DS Edition, as its first version was based on Pocket Edition v0.15.4 alpha, two major releases after the removal of the stonecutter's functionality.
The new stonecutter can be considered a revamped version of this block, because it has similar functionality to this one.
