Basically, random ticks can force lava to move.

also, you can shear snow golems to get the pumpkin back

il mango's short video about stone generators.
Basically, random ticks can force lava to move.

I saw that video when it was released, but they're ultimately problematic designs. They don't self-repair, and they break if you aren't actively removing the stone.

I built an updated version in the vault at spawn that I think works better on a multiplayer server, but it could still break if it ran autonomously and stone wasn't actively removed. So instead it only gives you more stone if you removed the existing stone which solves this problem.

That said, personally I still prefer self-repairing designs that don't require observer blocks. Essentially the piston that feeds the stone out of the machine also clears the water and lava flows so that they can reset easily and quickly in the case of lava flowing faster than water in some cases.

Here are some pictures of that design, built in a way so you can see how it works, but I have built a more compact version of the rear mechanism that is just a bit harder to see what is going on.







I use this device on skyblock becuase it's fast, easy to build, efficient, and self-repairing. Even if you just want cobblestone, smooth stone is faster to mine into cobblestone.

The lever is just to turn the machine on and off so you don't leave it running, but you could also easily use a pressure plate instead placed where you would stand while mining.

Off-topic: Someone had fun decorating the Spawn basement. xD What happened to snowman faces though? :o



Heh, that was me. You use shears to remove the pumpkin heads.

Thanks for the design tips! I could make dragtom's solution work, but now I'm having a different problem.

Is there a compact solution to amplify an Observer signal to hold a Piston for 2 seconds long? Usually the signal coming from the Observer comes and goes in less than a second, but I need more time than that.

I spent a lot of time with making an observer block solution work, but there are some key issues with it that make it not as reliable and functional. Feel free to take a look at my solution to those issues in the vault at spawn.

, but now I'm having a different problem.

Is there a compact solution to amplify an Observer signal to hold a Piston for 2 seconds long? Usually the signal coming from the Observer comes and goes in less than a second, but I need more time than that.

try just using a repeater on 2-tick delay, should be long enough to pulse a piston

you can also take a look at pulse-extender circuits, the more compact solutions use comparators:

I'm not sure if I'm at the right place, but I tested the Stone generator I found.



I'm also not sure if I used it correctly, but it generated Cobble- instead of Smoothstone for me at random times.

The levers on top are for changing some settings, looks like I didn't put it back into default state. Should be good to go now.

While I was looking for parrots in the new update, I found 2 great horses near a forest on my way back. I kept the black one, but the white horse is up for grabs.

I tested it and it has a speed of 20 on the CO scale (21 is the currently recorded maximum), it can jump 4,5 blocks high and has 12 hearts, which is pretty darn good if I can say. Also, it's white, which is one of the best possible colors.

I fenced it in on the logo in Achievement City. Go get it before anyone else does~
