Automatic Stonecutter block: pick a stonecutting recipe once, and the machine cuts one item per redstone pulse. Fully automatable with hoppers - insert from the top and sides, extract the result from the bottom.

Description
AutoCutter
The vanilla stonecutter needs a player to pick the result and take the item out by hand. AutoCutter adds the Automatic Stonecutter — a block that remembers one stonecutting recipe and runs it on every redstone pulse.
How it works
- Craft and place the block, then right-click it to open the GUI.
- Put your material into the input slot (stone, for example).
- A list of every stonecutting recipe for that material appears — click the one you want. The choice is highlighted and saved inside the block.
- Feed it a redstone pulse. Each pulse consumes one input item and produces the selected result.
The selection survives world reloads and server restarts, because the block stores the recipe id, not a list index.
Automation
Slot access is side-dependent, so hoppers just work:
| Side | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Top | hopper inserts into the input slot |
| Any horizontal side | hopper inserts into the input slot |
| Bottom | hopper extracts the finished result |
A hopper underneath can never steal the raw material, and a hopper on top can never push junk into the output.
Details
- Edge-triggered like a dispenser: a permanently powered block cuts exactly once.
- Emits a comparator signal based on how full it is.
- Drops its contents when broken.
- Server-authoritative: every operation is re-validated on the server.
- No custom network packets — uses vanilla container synchronisation only.
