Automatic Cobblestone Generator using the Cork Mod
Minecraft is a popular sandbox game that allows players to build and explore virtual worlds. One of the essential resources in the game is cobblestone, which is used for crafting various items and structures. Collecting cobblestone manually can be time-consuming and tedious, which is why many players opt to build an automatic cobblestone generator. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating an automatic cobblestone generator using the Cork Mod, a popular modification for Minecraft.
Materials Needed
Before we dive into the construction process, let's go over the materials you will need to build the automatic cobblestone generator. Here's a list of the required materials:
- Iron rod
- 2 Iron ingots
- Lever
- Double chest
- Hoppers
- Water bucket
- Lava bucket
- Redstone block
- Redstone dust
- Comparator
- Pistons
- Observer block
- Repeater
- Blocks (any type)
Make sure you gather all these materials before starting the construction.
Building the Cobblestone Generator
Now that you have all the necessary materials, let's begin building the automatic cobblestone generator step by step.
1. Placing the Lever and Chest
First, find a suitable location for your cobblestone generator. Clear out a 7x7 space and ensure it is at least 3 blocks tall. Begin by placing a lever on one of the blocks. This lever will control the operation of the cobblestone generator. Adjacent to the lever, place a double chest where the cobblestone will be collected.
2. Setting up the Hoppers
Next, install hoppers to transport the cobblestone from the generator into the chest. Align the hoppers, so they run straight into the back of the chest.
3. Placing the Water and Lava
Now it's time to add the water and lava, the essential components of the cobblestone generator. Place a water source block on top of a block adjacent to the hoppers. To prevent the water from flowing everywhere, create a barrier around it using additional blocks. Then, position the lava source block six blocks away from the water source, three blocks in, and two blocks up. Similarly, create a barrier around the lava source to contain it.
4. Creating the Hopper Clock
The next step involves building a hopper clock that will control the cobblestone generator's operation. Construct a standard hopper clock using two hoppers placed into each other. Connect them to two comparators facing each other. Add blocks and pistons to create the clock mechanism.
5. Adding the Output
To extract the cobblestone produced by the generator, place an observer block next to one of the pistons. This observer block should face the piston. Attach a repeater to the observer block, ensuring it has a delay of at least two ticks. Connect the repeater to a block with redstone on top of it, creating a vertical circuit that powers another piston. Every time the hopper clock switches, the powered piston will push the cobblestone into the hoppers and ultimately into the chest.
6. Testing the Cobblestone Generator
Once you have completed the construction, turn the hopper clock off and add five items into the hoppers. Switch on the cobblestone generator and observe if the system is functioning correctly. You should see cobblestone blocks being generated and transported into the chest through the hoppers.
Conclusion
