Stonecutter
Stonecutter converts stone-family blocks into slabs, stairs, and walls one-to-one — far more efficient than the crafting grid.

Description
Stonecutter is crafted from one iron ingot above three stone blocks in a T-shape on the crafting grid. The device opens a one-to-many interface where the input is any stone-family block — stone, granite, andesite, diorite, sandstone, deepslate, prismarine, blackstone, or any of their polished or brick variants — and the output is a list of every related decorative block.
The key efficiency advantage is one-to-one conversion. The crafting grid wastes material: turning one block into stairs requires six in a 3×3 pattern producing only four stairs, a net loss of two-thirds. The stonecutter converts a single block into a single stair, slab, or wall (slabs come out at two per block, the only exception). Builders working on big stone-themed structures can therefore use a fraction of the raw resources, and inventory management stays cleaner because intermediate polished or brick variants no longer need to be crafted manually first.
