Cobblestone Generator: how to build? Types, tips
Last update: 12 July 2020
On this page of our Minecraft guide, you will learn how to make a cobblestone generator.
Construction basics
A typical cobblestone generator is based on a phenomenon in the game, where water, after being combined with lava generates a cobblestone block. With appropriate settings on both substances, you can obtain cobblestone without any limits.
The basic construction is just like in the above screenshot. Additionally, water needs to be lower on the second block off the edge (the right side of the screenshot) because it is lava that needs to flow onto the water - if it is water that flows onto the lava (the source), then you will obtain obsidian.
The only thing that you now need to do is get a pickaxe and hold down the attack/destroy button until you have obtained the amount that satisfies your needs.
Various types of a generator
The concepts can vary - everything depends on your invention. Above, you can see an example of another generator, based on the same mechanism. You can expand the system by multiple blocks generated at the same time, or add pistons, to push out the already generated blocks. Unfortunately, the basic version of the game disallows obtaining cobblestone automatically.
