How to Build an Efficient Cobblestone Generator

Introduction

In this tutorial, I will guide you on how to build one of the best and easiest cobblestone generators. Whether you are playing the latest 1.17 snapshot or still using version 1.16, this build will work for you. Unlike previous cobblestone generators, this one offers higher production efficiency, allowing you to generate over 8,000 cobblestones in just under a minute. So, let's dive in and get started!

Materials Required

Before we begin, gather the following materials:

• Two chests
• Three stacks of building blocks
• Four pistons
• Ten redstone dust
• One observer
• Two water buckets
• Four hoppers
• One redstone repeater
• Four lava buckets
• Sixteen cobblestone blocks
• One wood button

Setting Up the Cobblestone Generator

1. Place the two chests beside each other to create a double chest.
2. Connect four hoppers to the back of the chest.
3. Surround the hoppers with building blocks to create a two-block-tall structure.
4. Place a layer of cobblestone on top of the hoppers, making it two blocks tall.

Building the Redstone System

1. Break a block on the second row from the back on the right side.
2. Place an observer with its face looking at the cobblestone and the red dot facing backward.
3. Behind the observer, create a structure using building blocks.
4. Place a redstone repeater pointing towards the building blocks.
5. Build your way up to the top of the structure and find the middle.
6. Extend the structure horizontally on both sides.
7. Create a handle-like structure on one side.
8. Place four pistons with the brown part facing the cobblestone beneath.
9. Separate the cobblestone in the middle with additional layers.
10. Surround the exterior with building blocks two blocks tall.

Adding Water and Lava

1. Create an infinite water source by placing water on two opposite sides after breaking four blocks.
2. Use the water buckets to fill the pistons on the longer side of the structure.
3. Obtain four lava buckets and place them on the cobblestone on the shorter side.

Using the Cobblestone Generator

1. Stand in front of the cobblestone generator and break the blocks.
2. The pistons will push cobblestones down, collecting them in the chest.
3. You can use an auto-clicker or the F3 + T combination to break the blocks efficiently.

Efficiency and Output

Using this cobblestone generator, you can expect to produce a significant amount of cobblestones in a short period. With the right tools, such as an enchanted diamond pickaxe, you can generate over two stacks of cobblestones in just one minute. However, keep in mind that using lower-quality tools may yield slightly different results.

Variations and Improvements

While this cobblestone generator is highly effective, there are several variations and improvements you can make. Some modifications include adding additional pistons or optimizing the redstone system for better performance. Experimenting with different designs can lead to even higher cobblestone output.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Simple and easy to build
• High cobblestone production rate
• Compatible with different Minecraft versions

Cons:

• Requires specific tools for optimal results
• May require additional materials for modifications

Conclusion

Building an efficient cobblestone generator can drastically simplify the process of obtaining cobblestones in Minecraft. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can create a reliable generator that produces a substantial amount of cobblestones in a short period. Remember to experiment with variations and improvements to find the best design for your needs. Enjoy your newfound cobblestone abundance!
