    • The bean mine has now hit deepslate layers on the fourth area.
      • The switch to moss mining is coming soon. Still, it’s nice to know that the deeplsate that has been mined with silk touch will be more useful when the 26.1 drop arrives.
    • Have not yet prioritized zombifying, and curing villagers yet because the drowned farm has replaced the tracking hall as the main XP source for repairing tools.

FROM: Dovid
SUBJECT: Further Stonecutter Updates

Hey Pix, and Joel,

Last week’s update to the stonecutter made me wonder about other possible functions for it. What if it were able to cut wood variants of slabs and stairs from planks? It could also cut fences as a counterpart to stone walls.

While it is called a stonecutter, it already deviates from its name by cutting copper. It seems logical that a blade capable of cutting stone, and metal would also be able to cut wood. What do you think? Are there other aspects of Minecraft you think should be similarly updated?

Thanks!

Dovid was pricked to death by splinters flying off of his stonecutter as he cut pale oak stairs.

Thanks to our top patrons!
