1.16 was not a valid version choise, so I had to put 1.17 but actually I havent tried it on 1.17 yet so if 1.17 fixed this issue please let me know.

So the main issue is that stone_BRICK_walls and stone_BRICK_stairs can be made directly from stone without making bricks first. But I assume this is intentional.

Regardless, I tried to fix it with a datapack and found that the format blockA from blockB stonecutting seems to work... for all recipes EXCEPT stone brick wall and chiselled stone bricks. To be more precise, this is what im using (copied and pasted)

chiseled_stone_bricks_from_stone_stonecutting.json

and

stone_brick_wall_from_stone_stonecutting.json

At first I was thinking with generic stone you didn't need stone before the stonecutting but this format works fine with both slabs and stairs. What am I doing wrong?
