Because of the many uses cobblestone has in Minecraft, cobblestone generators can be one of the most useful tools in Minecraft survival. Imagine being able to effortlessly mine an infinite amount of cobblestone, all without having to go underground! In this article, we will teach you how to achieve just that, showing you three different types of cobblestone generators.
Table of Contents:Basic Minecraft Cobblestone Generator

This basic cobblestone generator design is the fastest and easiest way to build a cobblestone generator in Minecraft. Because of its simplicity, this design is extremely popular for the Minecraft skyblock gamemode or during Minecraft survival when mining for cobblestones is difficult. In addition, this cobblestone generator design only requires 1 bucket of water, 1 bucket of lava, and a 4x1 tench.
To build this design, start digging a 4-block long and 1-block wide trench. One block from one end, dig one more block down. Place a bucket of water on one side of the trench and a bucket of lava on the other. Within seconds of placing the lava, cobblestone appears in the space between the lava and water.
This design works because when water mixes with lava, it turns into cobblestone or obsidian. If water mixes with a lava source block, it will become obsidian. However, if it only touches flowing lava (not the source block itself), it will become cobblestone. For this reason, every time you break the cobblestone block, another cobblestone block will appear.
If you would like to check your pickaxe's durability while breaking the cobblestone, make sure to

Fast Cobblestone Generator
While small cobblestone generators might work great for the first couple of days in Minecraft, players will quickly get annoyed by the speed at which the lava regenerates cobblestone. Since it takes a second for the cobblestone to spawn, pickaxes with enchantments become useless. The solution to this problem is a fast Minecraft cobblestone generator.
This cobblestone generator design allows you to break cobblestones exceptionally quickly and requires minimal materials to make. Because of this speed, the generator is great for gathering resources for building, whether you are playing Minecraft survival, skyblock, or any other gamemode.
An additional feature that players will like is the ability to go away from your keyboard (AFK) while mining cobblestone. This is possible thanks to two alternating pistons, which push you back and forth so that you mine the cobblestone evenly.
Automatic Cobblestone Generator
If you need an extremely large amount of cobblestone quickly and don't want to bother with mining, we highly recommend creating an automatic Minecraft cobblestone generator. These generators can generate thousands of cobblestone blocks in just an hour and require minimal setup.
To build this incredible design, start by gathering the following materials:
- 64 Temporary Blocks
- 49 Leaves
- 18 Lava Buckets
- 18 Chests
- 13 Slabs
- 10 Glass
- 9 Hoppers
- 8 Observers
- 8 Building Blocks
- 4 Ladders
- 4 Repeaters
- 4 Trapdoors
- 3 Pistons
- 3 Redstone Dust
- 3 Note Blocks
- 2 Water
- 1 Obsidian
- 1 Sand
- 1 TNT
- 1 Lever
- 1 Button
Once you have everything you need, follow the video instructions linked in this article, and you will have a fully automatic cobblestone farm built in no time!
