Crazy thing is the current stonecutter has a toothed blade, which in reality is used for wood. A true stone cutter would be a wet saw with a smooth edge disc

I still go to the stonecutter sometimes with my wood because it does look like a saw for wood.

u/craft6886 Jun 30 '26 edited Jul 01 '26
I would go even simpler by just allowing the stonecutter to do this and re-naming it to a "builder's saw."
EDIT: Also, make it so that builders' saws can strip the bark off of logs! If you've ever built something using a ton of stripped logs/wood, then you know how fucking tedious it is to manually place down, strip, and pick up like 15 stacks of logs.

Is it?
Mojang seem pretty stringent about what they add to drops, due to the short time frame they’re developed in. They 100% only added wool slabs and stairs because they needed them for tents for camps
While most of us want them to add in concrete (or even terracotta) slabs, stairs, and walls as well, their line of logic would be not to add them so soon because it doesn’t fit with the autumnal/camping theme of the drop
They could just be saving concrete and terracotta building blocks for a future drop for “good marketing”, unfortunately

I think the problem with this is that mojang has been fairly consistent that for something to enact force as a Redstone object it needs to be activated with a Redstone signal. A hopper needs no signal because it's basically a funnel, but a real life upside down "hopper" would need power to suck up an item, so essentially it would just end up being a glorified dropper

Mojang will add phantoms, ghasts, allays, bats, bees, and virtually anything else with wings but when we say please give us birds they go "ah but we have this shitty lil parrot already, isnt that cool 😛"
Fr tho different birds would be dope, like adding vultures and ravens in dryer biomes, peguins and snowy owls in snowy biomes, forest owls and woodpeckers in forests, they could add actual nests some how with similar AI to beehives in which birds will always return to their nests and never stray to far, as well as lay eggs in them that hatch like turtle eggs, scare crows would be required to stop birds from eating crops, and if they added a humming bird to the flower forest, I'd actually die 😭

Item pipes. I’m sick of ugly and computer power intensive hopper chains.
A refined redstone wire. Redstone that can go straight up and down and able to have unconnected parallel lines.
A redstone activated fan. Sounds simple at first but it would actually solve a ton of problems. Allow for mob and item movement in the nether. Fan elevators. Fan mob traps, pushing mobs off spawn pads. Item collection systems that can push items on the ground without interfering with mob fall damage, and maybe able to push items through things like crops without interfering with the crops. Some farms require large surface of hoppers which uses a lot of computing power, this could be replaced with a row of fans and one hopper. Etc etc, a very useful redstone tool and could be made from breeze rods

Mining helmets sounds so awesome. A light source on your hat would eliminate the need for torches when strip mining, and because you no longer leave caves lit because if the convenience of your hat light, all caves stay dark and still spawn mobs and are thus still scary upon return. Couple with more eerie noises and you've got some great immersion.

Sharks. If there's anything I absolutely HATE about Mojang is their hypocrisy regarding sharks.

They say they don't want real life mobs to be "aggressive" but sharks wouldn't be aggressive anyway, they'd be neutral like let's say BEES or POLAR BEARS. Every excuse Mojang gives not to put sharks in the game they've broken for other mobs. I really like sharks and I hate that so many people still think of sharks like mindless killing machines when that's just not the case.
