🛠️ Recipe Overhauls & Balances

• Stairs: Craft 4 stairs using only 3 blocks (down from 6) using a more compact 2×2 grid layout.
• Signs: Craft 1 sign using 1 wooden slab and 1 stick for a material-accurate recipe.
• Carpets: Craft 6 carpets using 2 wool blocks (increased from 3).
• Glass Panes: Rebalanced to yield 12 glass panes from 4 glass blocks for an optimized material ratio.
• Cut Copper: Craft 16 cut copper directly from 4 copper blocks.
• Slabs: Added a new 2-block-to-4-slab recipe, and implemented vertical 2-slab uncrafting back into 1 full block.

✨ New Crafting Mechanics & Utilities

• Woodworking Stonecutter: Wood blocks can now be processed in the stonecutter to easily shape slabs, stairs, and fences.
• Log Bark Stripping: Effortlessly strip bark off logs using the stonecutter.
• Copper Scraping & Wax Removal: Remove oxidation and wax layers from copper blocks via the stonecutter interface.
• Block Deconstruction: Break down compression blocks (Coral, Quartz, Ice, Dripstone, Amethyst, etc.) back into their raw components using the stonecutter.
• Metal Recycling: Blast Furnaces can now smelt down damaged/old metal equipment and tools back into their respective ingots or nuggets.
• Wool Smelting: Smelt colored wool in a regular furnace to extract its corresponding dye.
• Flexible Container Alternative: Chests, hoppers, and shulker boxes can now be crafted using Barrels as a valid wooden container alternative.
• Craftable Chainmail Armor: Chainmail armor pieces are now fully craftable using Chains.
• Renewable Deepslate: Cobblestone can be smelted in a blast furnace to transform into Deepslate, making it fully renewable.
