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

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

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.
