A guide to all possible crafting recipes using the Woodcutter

I used oak wood as an example, but this works with all wood types.

The numbers varie a bit with Bamboo Blocks, because you only get 2 Bamboo planks from a Bamboo Block

Why I decided to do stuff the way I did

You might have wondered why you can't craft fences, fence gates, doors and trapdoors using planks in the stonecutter, but can with logs. The reason is that I decided that you should at max get 0.5 extra planks for using the stonecutter instead of the crafting table, as that's the max you get in vanilla, when crafting a stone stair that would cost 1.5 stones in a crafting table. Here's a table about the plank cost of every wooden block that further illustrates the point I'm trying to make here.

item planks needed for the recipe (including sticks [1 stick = 0.5 plank]) recipe output cost per block (in planks)
stair 6 4 1.5
slab 3 6 0.5
fence 5 3 ~1.7
fence gate 4 1 4
door 6 3 2
trapdoor 6 2 3
pressure plate 2 1 2
button 1 1 1
sign 6.5 3 ~2.2

Hanging signs aren't on this table, because their crafting recipe includes chains.

You can now further craft shelves from logs and stripped logs 1:1, since their crafting recipe is 6:6. You cannot, however, craft them from wood blocks (bark on all sides), as there is no vanilla crafting recipe to convert a wood block back to a log.

If you dislike my decisions, I recommend you check out Taya's Woodcutter datapack which made some things different to this one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Woodcutter server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Woodcutter compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Woodcutter officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Woodcutter – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Woodcutter consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
