Quark Building Blocks: Stonecutting and the Block Palette

guide

Quark building blocks cover a wide range of decorative and functional pieces, and the Stonecutter-driven recipes are only part of the picture. The mod's recipe set also includes a deep crafting tree for wood, stone, and storage blocks, plus a few processing routes that turn raw materials into finished ones. This guide covers the block and item names you will actually type into a crafting grid, a furnace, or a blast furnace, so you can plan a build without guessing.

Wood and Derived Blocks

Wood processing in Quark starts from the basic logs and planks and branches outward. Acacia Log converts into Acacia Chest in batches, and Acacia Planks alone also produces a single Acacia Chest. Combining Acacia Chest with a Tripwire Hook gives you an Acacia Trapped Chest.

Planks feed several other recipes. Acacia Planks plus Book yields Acacia Bookshelf, while Acacia Planks with Stick produces Acacia Ladder. Leaves are not wasted: Acacia Leaves alone compresses into Acacia Leaf Carpet, and Acacia Leaves combined with Acacia Log gives Acacia Leaf Hedge.

For shape variants, Acacia Wood becomes Acacia Post, and Vertical Acacia Planks can be converted back into Acacia Planks. Slabs and vertical slabs are interchangeable in both directions: Acacia Slab makes Acacia Vertical Slab, and Acacia Vertical Slab makes Acacia Slab.

Stone and Brick Variants

Stone follows the same pattern of base block, then slabs, stairs, walls, and vertical slabs. Polished Andesite converts into Andesite Bricks. From there, Andesite Bricks produces Andesite Brick Slab, Andesite Brick Stairs, and Andesite Brick Wall. The slab and vertical slab pair works both ways: Andesite Brick Slab makes Andesite Brick Vertical Slab, and Andesite Brick Vertical Slab makes Andesite Brick Slab.

Polished Andesite Slab is the input for Andesite Pillar. Plain andesite shapes follow the same reversible logic: Andesite Slab converts to Andesite Vertical Slab, and Andesite Vertical Slab converts back to Andesite Slab.

Cobblestone is not left out. Cobblestone Bricks smelts into Stone Bricks, giving you a furnace route to a classic block.

Storage and Crates

Compacting resources into blocks and unpacking them again is handled by crate recipes. Apple compresses into Apple Crate, and Apple Crate unpacks back into Apple. This pattern lets you store bulk food in a single block slot and retrieve it later without loss.

Smelting and Blasting

Raw metal blocks can be finished in either a furnace or a blast furnace. Block of Raw Copper, Raw Copper Bricks, Block of Raw Gold, Raw Gold Bricks, Block of Raw Iron, and Raw Iron Bricks all convert into their finished counterparts: Block of Copper, Block of Gold, and Block of Iron respectively. The same conversions appear in both the smelting and blasting recipe sets, so either furnace type works.

A few other smelting recipes are worth knowing. Bone yields Bone Meal. Dirty Glass smelts into Glass, and Glass Shard can be crafted directly into Dirty Glass through an exclusion recipe. Moss Block smelts into Moss Paste, and Soul Sandstone smelts into Smooth Soul Sandstone. A Trowel can be smelted or blasted down into Iron Nugget.

Campfire Cooking

Campfire cooking handles at least one food item: Raw Crab Leg cooks into Cooked Crab Leg over a campfire rather than in a furnace.

Where to Find Materials

The Glimmering Weald is a temperate biome and a source of Stoneling creatures. It also spawns the usual hostile mobs, including Spider, Zombie, Zombie Villager, Skeleton, Creeper, and Slime, so bring appropriate gear when collecting materials there.

Practical Notes

The crafting recipe set is large, and the smithing rune recipes add further transformations on top of the ones listed here. When in doubt, check whether a block has a vertical slab or post variant, since Quark tends to provide both directions of conversion. For raw metals, remember that bricks and blocks of raw material both finish into the same output, so you can choose whichever input you have on hand.
