Piston generator design
Anybody think there could be a way to break the cobble automatically? You can make sand break on a partial block, so would that happen here with cobble being pushed onto the partial block? --Indy 18:21, 12 July 2011 (UTC)


 * The vanilla pistons are unable to break cobblestone.
 * You could, however, add a 'detonation chamber' to your cobblestone generator. Make a room surrounded by obsidian. Fill it with cobblestone from the generator. Then light tnt through the obsidian wall. Have a water stream below to collect the falling items into a central location. Or the tnt could be dropped in from an opening in the ceiling of the room.
 * I'm not entirely serious about this idea. That being said, I'm about to build one. Qcdynamics 21:54, 12 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, that was hilariously inefficient. Qcdynamics 22:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
