Cobblestone Generator'is a device that produces cobblestones without destroying the terrain.
The working principle of the stone brushing machine is: when the flowing lava comes into contact with water, the lava will turn into cobblestone. The resulting cobblestone then blocks the contact between the two streams of liquid. When this new cobblestone is collected, the contact of water with the lava produces a new cobblestone.
There are also variations of stone brushing machines, which will be referred to as "Stone Generator" in order to avoid confusion in the expression. Building a stone brush machine is often tricky because the lava must touch the water block from above to spawn stone.
Accidental production of [[[obsidian]] must be avoided when building, as obsidian is formed when water comes into contact with a lava source (see [[[tutorial/obsidian producer]]). The formation of obsidian destroys the source of the lava. An understanding of different fluids avoids this mistake when building.
The meaning of building a stone brush machine
Here are a few common reasons:
- Your shelter is far from the nearest place where naturally occurring stones exist, such as high in the sky or in the middle of the ocean. Building a stone brush saves time from your shelter to the nearest mine.
- Avoid destroying the integrity of caves or underground shelters.
- You need a lot of cobblestones, much more than you can get from mining.
- Build a self-healing building.
- For specific maps or servers:
- Ultraflat World maps are often extremely resource-poor.
- Some multiplayer survival mode servers tend to have a lot of demand on cobblestone.
- Custom or challenge maps sometimes require a stone brush machine for gameplay (e.g. Empty Island Survival).
Basic Stone Brushing Machine
Basic stone brushing machine But the popularity has not been high, because cobblestones are really easy to find. However, it is very useful in the empty island world.
The basic Stone Brusher requires players to dig next to the lava and collect the resulting cobblestones. Not only can this put the player in danger, but if the falling cobblestones are burned by lava, it can seriously reduce efficiency. These shortcomings can be overcome with better design, such as by digging out the underneath block of the produced cobblestone to facilitate the cobblestone to fall to a safe place, or by using a funnel to collect the drops.
Example of a basic brush machine
To explain the schematic diagram: stone bricks represent any fireproof block. Water source blocks and lava source blocks may be marked with an "S". Cobblestones or stones only occur where they are generated. The "x" represents where the cobblestones should stand when harvesting.
The simplest brushing machine made of flowing lava in contact with flowing water. Water and lava are placed at both ends in a 10-square-long ditch, and cobblestones are formed next to the lava. With a little study, you can make the whole device more compact, and you can even wash away falling cobblestones with a stream of water. Both this design and the next design are easy to expand and use for multiple players.

The fountain-type stone brushing machine makes it more convenient to dig cobblestones, but it takes more effort to build. This design also uses two lava flows to make production faster.

This "digging from below" stone brush machine is smaller, and the stone brushing machine is at the top. Placing the brush machine on top means that very few cobblestones will be burned by lava, but this brusher takes more time to build. This one brush also used two lava flows.

Piston brushing machine
piston can be used to automate the brushing machine and reduce the number of lost cobblestones. Piston brushing machines work on the same principle as standard brushing machines, but use a piston to push away newly generated cobblestones or stones, which can then generate new cobblestones. The piston stone brushing machine has two uses: to accumulate a large number of cobblestones for players to dig in the future; Or provide some of the building's ability to repair itself. The piston can be driven by a clock circuit or a circuit that can detect the generation of cobblestones. The resulting cobblestone will slowly extend, and if you don't want the cobblestone to reach 13 tiles, you can "block" the path with blocks that the piston cannot push (such as [[[Furnace]]).
Composition
To make a piston stone brushing machine, you can consider the following 3 components:
- Core: Induces water and lava to flow together and generates cobblestones on the front of the piston. In general, it is based on the basic stone brushing machine, with the addition of pistons and redstone.
- Clock Signal Generator is used to drive the piston. This section generates a redstone signal that causes the piston to push the newly generated cobblestone away. The cycle of the clock can be adjusted to reduce excess movement of the piston.
- The block detector is a simple redstone circuit that is connected from a signal source to a piston and passes through two redstone repeaters in front and behind the cobblestone. When the cobblestone is generated, the repeater can charge the cobblestone, allowing the signal to pass through and activate the piston.
- The clock maintains a certain interval to repeatedly generate redstone signals. All basic repeater clocks will do, with a total interval of at least 7 or 8.
- Core pistons are usually not viscous. However, some block detector-based brush machines are designed to use viscous pistons while using transparent (which does not conduct redstone signals) blocks.
- Using Detector is more cumbersome because the detector will signal again when the piston pushes the cobblestone, which will eventually produce a device similar to high-frequency redstone, which is not what you want. The solution is to design additional circuitry to ensure that the output is only once every three inputs.
- Optional part, secondary piston. Because the piston can only push up to twelve blocks at a time, the brush core can only produce up to 13 cobblestones at a time. With the introduction of secondary pistons, this number can be significantly increased. The secondary piston pushes the entire row of cobblestones in different directions. Just like the piston in the core area, the principle is to push out the newly generated cobblestones, so that more cobblestones can be generated. A whole row of secondary pistons can also be used to push cobblestones directly towards parts of the building to be restored, such as those to be restored. The secondary piston can be designed to be activated with the same clock signal generator or, like the core piston, with a detection loop. But doing so can be noisy, if you have a bunch of secondary pistons. Alternatively, you can design a clock or detection loop for the secondary piston.
Example of piston brushing machine
The first design used a redstone clock to get the piston to work. The piston pushes the resulting cobblestone out of the basic core. The second design uses a block detection loop and pushes the cobblestone upwards.

Four-piston stone brushing machine
These advanced brush machine designs produce a steady stream of 4 cobblestone squares after every four piston cycles. The blocks were pushed upwards, completely preventing any possibility of falling cobblestones being burned by lava. Cobblestone's four-piston "factory":

Stone brushing machine
Stone is formed when lava comes into contact with water from above. Stones can be excavated slightly faster than [cobblestone]] and can be collected using enchanted precision pickaxes. Building with this smoother stone also makes these self-healing buildings look more chic and different.
Few stone brushing machines do not use pistons because the lava needs to sit directly above the resulting stone. The lava must flow down in front of the piston and come into contact with water. Just like in a cobblestone-brushing machine, a single piston can only produce up to 13 blocks at a time.
- Since stones are excavated faster than cobblestones, giving preference to brushing stones can make the use of time more efficient.

Version 1 can be built in holes 4×5×2, with 2 blocks extending from each layer of clock circuitry.
The upward-facing piston in the illustration is located on the ground floor, and the eastern block is covered with a transparent square (for visibility, here shown as glass) covered with redstone. The redstone torch marked "'( )" is temporary, and after the clock is built, a lever must be placed on any input block (green wool) and pulled, and then the redstone torch must be replaced with redstone powder. The tie rod controls the brush machine clock circuit, and when the tie rod is turned on, the brush machine stops working, and vice versa. After building, pull the lever again to start the stone brushing machine. Or you can decorate it, such as filling in the empty part of the second floor, or using blocks (such as steps) to cover the lava and circuits, etc.
Change': After all, the clock is outstretched, and you can extend it a little longer to avoid the noise of the pistons running. Debugging delays should be done with extra care, it is best to maintain the same clock cycle as originally (every 5 clock cycles, the brush machine moves the piston 3 times per square).

The stone age, The Iron Age. Entire epochs havebeen named for materials. So what to call thedecades ahead? The choice will be tough. Welcometo the age of superstuff. Material science -- once theleast sexy technology – is bursting with new, practical discoveries led by superconducting ceramicsthat may revolutionize electronics. Butsuperconductors are just part of the picture: from house and cars to cook pots and artificialteeth, the world will someday be made of different stuff. Exotic plastics, glass and ceramics willshape the future just as surely as have genetic engineering and computer science. The key to the new materials is researchers’ increasing ability to manipulate substances atthe molecular level. Ceramics, for example, have long been limited by their brittleness. Butby minimizing the microscopic imperfections that cause it, scientists are making far strongerceramics that still retain such qualities as hardness and heat resistance. Ford Motor Co. nowuses ceramic tools to cut steel. A firm called Kyocera has created a line of ceramic scissorsand knives that stay sharp for years and never rust or corrode. A similar transformation has overtaken plastics. High-strength polymers now formbridges, ice-skating rinks and helicopter rotors. And one new plastic that generates electricitywhen vibrated or pushed is used in electric guitars, touch sensors for robot hands and karatejackets that automatically record each punch and chop. Even plastic litter, which oncethreatened to permanently blot the landscape, has proved amenable to molecular tinkering. Several manufacturers now make biodegradable forms; some plastic six-pack rings forexample, gradually decompose when exposed to sunlight. Researchers are developing ways tomake plastics as recyclable as metal or glass. Besides, composites – plastic reinforced withfibers of graphite or other compounds – made the round-the-world flight of the voyagerpossible and have even been proved in combat: a helmet saved an infantryman’s life bydeflecting two bullets in the Grenada invasion. Some advanced materials are old standard with a new twist. The newest fiberoptic cablethat carry telephone calls cross-country are made of glass so transparent that a piece of 100 miles thick is clearer than a standard window pane. But new materials have no impact until they are made into products. And that transitioncould prove difficult, for switching requires lengthy research and investment. It can be said afirmer handle on how to move to commercialization will determine the success or failure of acountry in the near future.
Version 2
- The illustration is marked with !' The block is where the stone will be produced, and the ditch below it prevents the accidental outflow of lava.
- There must be a gravity block on the glass, the picture shows sand, you can also change it to gravel or concrete powder.
- This construction cannot be rotated, it can only be mirrored. Because it uses the southeast rule, it only works if the output is east or south.

Semi-automatic scheme
Press button, and the device will produce 24 blocks of stone. And, since it spawns from lava flowing through water from above (not from any other direction), you don't need to worry about the lava source block turning into obsidian.
Start construction from where the stone will be produced.
- Find a place. It should have space just 4 blocks high and be at least 4 blocks long in each direction
- At the top of the area of your choice, place Emitter facing down.
- Place 2 adjacent blocks on the floor under the launcher. The type of block you use depends on the type of pickaxe you intend to use.
- If you plan to use Diamond Pick, these squares should be Obsidian. If not, you can use ore blocks other than coal ore or [[Nether quartz ore], or you can use mineral blocks other than coal blocks, [[quartz blocks], or [redstone blocks]].
- If you plan to use a stone pickaxe, do not build with iron ore, [[[lapis lazuli ore]], iron block, or lapis lazuli block.
- Place fence or [Nether brick fence]] 4 blocks away from 2 blocks. These are the corners.
- Connect these four fences diagonally with fence or Nether brick fence.
- Place the source block on the floor (not on those two blocks).
- Finally, place 1 bucket of lava inside the launcher.
You will also need to let the launcher place and recover the lava. In order to build such a circuit, you have to work on top of your future stone brusher. The following are the steps to build a trunk circuit:
- Place an upward viscous piston.
- In the viscous piston (the viscous piston should be able to push the square. If you're not sure, go to the Piston page to see which blocks can't be moved by the piston) and place an opaque block on top (the Opacity page has a list of transparent squares that should not be used).
- Place some redstone powder. The wire made of redstone should be connected to the transmitter. Connect this line to a square with a button on it. (Make sure this block is not directly above your brush field.) This way, you can easily brush the stone by pressing a button outside the brushing field)
- In order for the block placed on top of the viscous piston to conduct the redstone signal, a [[redstone repeater] facing the opposite side must be placed in the adjacent place.
- Put red stone powder in front of the repeater, and then adjust the delay of the repeater to 4 minutes.
- Put another repeater that is not facing the redstone powder. The direction of this repeater should also be different from the direction of the previous repeater.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have put 4 repeaters. Make sure that each repeater is oriented differently. If you place it correctly, you will find that you will not be able to put redstone powder in front of the last repeater. Its delay should also be set to 4 ticks.
- Connect the redstone powder in the middle of the last two repeaters to another redstone circuit and lead it to the viscous piston. The circuit contains a total of 5 repeaters, four of which are set to 4 tick delays. Make sure this circuit is not connected to other redstone circuits.
Now your stone yard is complete. At the push of a button, you can make stones.
Compact stone brushing machine
Ways to build a compact stone brushing machine:
- Dig a 4-block trench.
- Arbitrarily dig out 1 square between the middle 2 squares.
- Put water on the small side.
- Put lava on the other side.
- Excavation of cobblestones.
More tutorials and examples
- On-hook design. The design features a thrower, constantly activated by high-frequency redstones, which is equipped with pickaxe, and the funnel in front of it can collect extra pickaxes that cannot be picked up and sent back to the thrower. You can press your mouse with something, fill your backpack with items (no space is enough), and start hanging up. When your pickaxe runs out of durability, a slot will be left in your inventory, and you'll automatically pick up the pickaxe fired by the thrower until the pickaxe is exhausted.
