🪨 Cobblestone Generator

Resource farm Easy

A simplified starter version of the classic trench generator: water and lava meet in a 1×5 trench and form endless cobblestone in the middle. Cheap, safe, and perfect for a first base.

Drag to rotate · scroll to zoom · right-drag to pan · ← → keys change step. Pulsing blocks are the ones added in the current step.

💡 Tips & usage

  • Stand on the trench edge next to the lava end and mine the cobblestone as it forms — it regenerates instantly.
  • Never let flowing water touch the lava source block directly, or the lava turns to obsidian and the generator stops.
  • A stone pickaxe or better keeps up with the regeneration speed; Efficiency enchantments make it even faster.

Lay the base platform

Place a flat 7×5 platform of stone (or any non-flammable block). This is the floor of the generator and gives you a safe area to work on.
