So the main issue is that stone_BRICK_walls and stone_BRICK_stairs can be made directly from stone without making bricks first. The same issue applies to deepslate and other stone variants. But I assume this is intentional for some reason...

Regardless, I tried to fix it with a datapack and found that the format: blockA from blockB stonecutting.json 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 (BlockA from stonecutting) but the format above works fine with both slabs and stairs. What am I doing wrong?

This was still an issue back in 1.16, but when I reported it I was told my issue was invalid/outdated and to update to 1.17, so I did but it still doesnt work in 1.17.

How to reproduce

1. Revoke all recipes:

   /recipe take @s *

2. Run the following command:

   /recipe give @s chiseled_stone_bricks_stone_from_stonecutting

   → The recipe is recognised (the expected name would be chiseled_stone_bricks_from_stone_stonecutting)

3. Run the following command:

   /recipe give @s stone_brick_walls_from_stone_stonecutting

   → The recipe is recognised (the expected name would be stone_brick_wall_from_stone_stonecutting)
