Ever noticed how Minecraft's stonecutter spins a sharp blade at high speed, yet you can stand on it without a scratch? Stonecutter Damage Mod fixes that oversight by making the stonecutter deal 1 point of damage — half a heart — to any creature that walks over it. It's a tiny tweak with surprisingly creative implications for mob farms, traps, and general world consistency. With over 77,000 downloads and active updates since late 2022, this lightweight mod by un_pogaz has clearly struck a chord with players who appreciate logical game mechanics.
Key Features
- Realistic stonecutter hazard — Stonecutters now inflict 1 point of damage (half a heart) to any entity that steps on them, bringing the block's appearance in line with its behavior.
- Universal mob interaction — The damage applies to all mobs, not just players, opening up creative possibilities for passive mob traps and farm designs.
- Minimal and non-intrusive — No new blocks, no config screens, no complicated mechanics. Install it, and stonecutters simply work the way they always should have.

FAQ
How much damage does the stonecutter deal with this mod?
The stonecutter deals 1 point of damage, which equals half a heart. This applies every time a creature walks over the block, so sustained contact will gradually chip away at health.
Does Stonecutter Damage Mod work with all mobs or just players?
It works on all mobs — passive animals, hostile creatures, and players alike. This makes stonecutters viable as components in mob traps and farm setups.
Is this mod compatible with Forge, Fabric, and Quilt?
Yes. The mod supports all three major mod loaders. Fabric users need Fabric API installed separately, and Quilt users need Quilt Loader. Check that you download the correct version for your loader and Minecraft version.
