Cortador Universal
Cortador Universal expands Minecraft's Stonecutter into a much more versatile crafting and processing station.
Instead of being limited mainly to stone-related blocks, the Stonecutter can also work with wood, wool, glass, metals, copper, and many other building materials.
The plugin is designed to make crafting faster and more convenient while keeping the familiar Stonecutter interface and the normal Minecraft experience.
────────────────────────────────────────
How It Works
────────────────────────────────────────
Using Cortador Universal is simple.
Place a supported material inside a Stonecutter and the plugin automatically displays the available transformations for that material.
Players can then select the desired result just like they would with normal Minecraft Stonecutter recipes.
The plugin does not replace the original Stonecutter recipes.
Instead, it expands the existing system by adding new compatible crafting options.
This means the Stonecutter becomes useful for many more building and decoration materials without requiring a separate custom crafting interface.
────────────────────────────────────────
Main Mechanics
────────────────────────────────────────
Cortador Universal works directly with Minecraft's Stonecutter system.
Its main mechanics include:
- Additional Stonecutter recipes
- Automatic recognition of supported materials
- Multiple output options for the same material
- Support for several material families
- Preservation of normal Minecraft recipes
- Protection against duplicate recipes
- Recipe synchronization with connected players
- Configurable recipe categories
- Configurable output quantities
- Safe handling of unsupported materials
The result is a system that feels like a natural extension of the original Minecraft Stonecutter.
────────────────────────────────────────
Wood
────────────────────────────────────────
Cortador Universal allows many wood families to be processed through the Stonecutter.
Supported wood types include:
- Oak

The output quantity can be adjusted by the server administrator.

This gives players another convenient way to produce common iron-based building and utility items.
────────────────────────────────────────
Gold
────────────────────────────────────────
Gold also receives Stonecutter functionality.
Available transformations include:
- Light Weighted Pressure Plates
Output quantities can be adjusted through the plugin configuration.
────────────────────────────────────────
Copper System
────────────────────────────────────────
Copper has one of the most complete integrations in Cortador Universal.
The plugin recognizes different copper oxidation stages.
Supported states include:
- Normal Copper
- Exposed Copper
- Weathered Copper
- Oxidized Copper
Waxed versions are also supported:
- Waxed Copper
- Waxed Exposed Copper
- Waxed Weathered Copper
- Waxed Oxidized Copper
Depending on the copper material, several transformations may be available.
Examples include:
- Cut Copper
- Chiseled Copper
- Stairs
- Slabs
- Doors
- Trapdoors
- Bars
- Chains
- Lightning Rods
- Other compatible copper variations
The plugin keeps the oxidation and wax state of compatible copper recipes whenever appropriate.
The system only provides transformations intended for the Stonecutter.
Copper materials are not used to create entities such as Copper Golems.
────────────────────────────────────────
Smart Recipe System
────────────────────────────────────────
Cortador Universal includes a recipe management system designed to avoid unnecessary duplicates.
Before adding certain recipes, the plugin can check whether an equivalent recipe already exists.
This helps prevent the Stonecutter interface from displaying the same result multiple times.
The plugin can also synchronize recipes with players who are already online.
This allows newly registered recipes to become available without requiring unnecessary actions from players.
────────────────────────────────────────
Configurable Recipes
────────────────────────────────────────
Server administrators can control which recipe categories are enabled.
The configuration can be used to manage:
- Wood recipes
- Wool recipes
- Glass recipes
- Stone recipes
- Metal recipes
- Copper recipes
Specific recipe output quantities can also be adjusted.
This allows each server to customize the Stonecutter according to its own economy, progression, and gameplay style.
────────────────────────────────────────
Compatibility System
────────────────────────────────────────
Cortador Universal is designed to handle unavailable materials safely.
If a certain material does not exist or is not supported by the Minecraft version running on the server, that specific recipe can simply be skipped.
Other supported recipes continue working normally.
This prevents one unavailable material from breaking the entire plugin.
────────────────────────────────────────
Building and Survival Benefits
────────────────────────────────────────
Cortador Universal is especially useful for survival servers, building servers, and multiplayer communities.
It helps players:
- Craft building materials faster
- Reduce unnecessary crafting steps
- Access more transformations from one station
- Work with multiple material families
- Convert blocks into useful building variants
- Organize construction workflows more efficiently
- Use the Stonecutter for much more than traditional stone recipes
Instead of switching constantly between different crafting methods, players can perform many common transformations directly through the Stonecutter.
────────────────────────────────────────
A More Complete Stonecutter
────────────────────────────────────────
Cortador Universal keeps the simplicity of Minecraft's original Stonecutter while greatly increasing what it can do.
Wood, wool, glass, copper, metals, stone, and many other construction materials can all become part of the same familiar system.
The goal is simple:
Make the Stonecutter more useful, more versatile, and more convenient while keeping the gameplay natural and easy to understand.
