View at: Template:Unused features/content [edit]
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.
For the obtainable block with the same name in current versions of Minecraft, see Stonecutter.
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.

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.
