2. Add Items to make a Stonecutter

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a stonecutter, place 1 iron ingot and 3 stone in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a stonecutter, it is important that the iron ingot and stone are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the second box. In the second row, there should be 3 stone. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a stonecutter.
