i remember when muh and imp had theirs done and op or admin places the water and lava, i heard they weren't allowed to use it.

a player recently made a 100% legit generator.

now everyone else wants 1 made for them, trying to get me to place water and lava, which i won't do because of what i heard from imp and muh's.

Why do you need a cobblestone generator, there is some under your feet!

cuz its easier to mine off a cobble generator than mining for cobble

i told them they could have 1 if they made it themselves

From what I know, its easier to mine going down, because most of the cobblestone goes into the lava, so i think that it is easier for everybody to just mine under ground.

thats hard to make it out of natural lava
plus if u want us to make it ourselfs atleast show us where the lava is

You can have a cobblestone generator if you make it yourself, I am not going to spawn you lava because you want to be lazy.

wat if we got lava in buckets for u guys to make us one how about that?

you would get cobblestone easier if you just mined, with the generator its block by block, in a mine its easier, It just makes life easier on everybody if you just mine by digging down.

its faster if u use cobble generator cuz when u mine u has to put torches down

Really? really? putting down torches is hard?, takes less than a second, littarly.

lol its easier jsut to mine it
Title: Re: Why Cant We Make Cobbblestone Generators
Post by: Nyssa on November 14, 2011, 02:58:59 am
i also said i'd put down water if they made it with natural lava, seems none of them are trusted
Title: Re: Why Cant We Make Cobbblestone Generators
Post by: lLLEGAL on November 14, 2011, 03:01:07 am
I'm trusted, so will it work if I brought you to a lava cavern that I found underground, and passed you the bucket?
Title: Re: Why Cant We Make Cobbblestone Generators
Post by: Nyssa on November 14, 2011, 03:07:45 am
nah you'll have to make it on the spot, i won't move lava for anyone

Seriously? You must never mine if you have a shortage of cobble.

Yes,
its easier jsut to mine it
in a cave.

Seriously? You must never mine if you have a shortage of cobble.
And lol... i always run out of cobble. ;)

But yuh u lose like 40% of the cobble from a generator and you dont have the chance of getting other ores from it too.

I made the legit generator that dedly is talking about.  There was a small lava pit near my village, coincidentally where I wanted to build a factory as part of my village setting.  I decided to make the cobble generator not because it was efficient, but because I wanted some working machinery in the factory.  It's really only for show.

It's FAR more efficient to collect cobble by digging it out of the ground.  My generator doesn't lose any cobble to lava (it uses 3 pistons to 'snake' the cobble around to a point where it can be busted one at a time) but the speed isn't very fast.  You have to time the pistons to allow the cobble to be created.  This delay is slower than just moving from block to block in a mine.

If you insist that a cobble generator is somehow easier or faster than just digging it up, you're welcome to try out the Cobblegen 3000™ and see for yourself.

Cobblestone generators are not mods.

obsidian generators are also no mods, i have one running in my base....

If you have no other reason for a cobblestone generator than just for the sake of creating one, you're better off mining cobblestone with a pickaxe. We don't like guests being lazy or expecting more than what is offered for no reason.

I, personally, have no use for a cobble generator because of said implications and the fact that I am better off mining than cheating.

If cobblestone generators are 'cheating' then why did notch make it so when lava hits water, it turns to cobble? Cobblestone generators are only water and lava placed in such a way that they make cobblestone for you to mine.

Well I'm sure he is using the term cheating loosely, maybe he feels it is cheating (as i do) even though he isn't breaking any rules.

I cant understand how its hard to mine cobble. Its like what, three, four blocks below you? And torches, just put them next to your pick on your items list and just switch them. If you mined enough, you'd have a chest full of cobble within a week.

It's quite possible to make a 100% efficient cobblestone generator, and to make it as big as you want it, using a pulse generator and pistons (I made it myself in creative mode). However, the only reason you would need to make this is if you were making a really huge project where you needed obscene amounts of cobble and you don't have time to mine all of it.
