Minecraft: How to make a Stonecutter

Time needed: 5 minutes.

To make a Stonecutter in Minecraft you will just need one iron ingot and three stone. That sounds pretty easy, but you need normal stone and not cobblestone, which can be a bit more difficult to obtain!

1. Obtain Iron Ore

   We just need one iron bar, so we don't need much ore. Both caves and ravines are great places to find the ore. Any space that's opened up which gives you a lot of surface area to explore makes it easier to spot it. You also might see it in the side of a mountain or hill. If you can't find it that way, mine your way downwards, and you should eventually come across it. It's one of the more common ores you will find in the game.

2. Create an Iron Bar

   We just need a single iron bar to create the stonecutter, so smelt an iron ore in your furnace to get it!

3. Obtain Stone

   So, now we need just stone. You can get this a couple of different ways. If you have a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment then you can just mine it to get it. If not, then the usual way to obtain it is by smelting cobblestone in a furnace! You can get cobblestone by mining stone with any pickaxe. You will need three stone in total.

4. Create the Stonecutter

   We've got all the pieces we need, now we just need to follow the recipe! Place the iron bar in the middle of your crafting table, and line the bottom with the three stone to craft yourself a Stonecutter!
