What’s up everybody and welcome to a special uh we’ll call a bonus segment why not uh a special bonus segment i’d like to call inventions of minecraft with me dragon um basically i just wanted to have a chance to blow off steam be in creative mode for a while and i thought hey Why not record me trying to take things in minecraft and make them better so that’s what we’re going to do so we’re here in the beautiful dragon labs super flat world that gives us plenty of space to do whatever we want however we want dawned in our netherright armor for safety of Course and uh yeah i want to introduce you to something that i came up with today uh probably definitely takes inspiration from other people so if you’ve seen this before i don’t claim to be original this was just me fiddling around with mechanics to see what i could do So today in inventions with minecraft i am going to show you my improved cobblestone generator so uh normal cobblestone generator you guys know if you’ve played minecraft for any stretch of time is anytime you run water and run lava together it creates cobblestone and you can mine That cobblestone piece out and they will just keep flowing together to make cobblestone until the end of time what i sought to do is kind of automate it a little bit there is no block in minecraft today without mods that is that breaks blocks for you should such a thing come Or should the mechanics be tweaked in such a way that it can happen uh i will definitely be updating this design to allow for that but for now unfortunately all this does is it just makes a 120 cobblestone at a time that you do have to mine manually but You can kind of set it and forget it and come back and uh when it’s done it’ll have made 120 cobblestone so let me walk you through i don’t think i need to explain the cobblestone generator mechanics itself like i said kind of already touched on that So what we have over here is a redstone timer uh essentially it’s just repeaters that go around and around and around and every time it hits this little cross section here it activates the piston the piston pushes the cobblestone out we do have a circuit breaker that i made Here just in case we want to stop it or reset it for any reason so as the cobblestone gets pushed out the maximum push distance for a piston for any block that’s pushable is 13 blocks so 13 cobblestone can be pushed out you kind of lose some here because Of the structure so you can get 10 blocks out here until that last block hits the observer now the observer block anytime something changes in front of the observer block rain let’s get rid of that anytime something changes in front of the observer block a block is placed the block is removed Piston fires whatever um it sends out a redstone pulse so once the block hits here the redstone pulse comes out the observer hits this circuit right here activating all the pistons to then push the entire row forward at the same time it activates this automated circuit breaker here That way when this piston fires it’s not just firing and firing and firing and re-updating the observer this block here will cut that circuit before it has time to create an infinite loop so let me turn this on and give you guys a little demonstration so like i said every time that piston Retracts a new piece of cobblestone is made and it will push it forward get to the end here boop that whole row gets pushed forward the circuit breaker engaged cuts the circuit waits for the next row and after a time and with a little editing magic There we go we get to the end of our uh push limit on our pistons now this will fill in the rest of the back but unfortunately when it gets back here it won’t be able to uh go any further because those pistons just don’t have the ability to Uh to push any further used to be when minecraft first came out for console which is what i’m running right now i’m running the bedrock version on my xbox but when the console version of minecraft first came out you could push cobblestone till the game broke essentially uh people were making automatic bridge Generators with obsidian on the other side because obsidian can’t be pushed uh there was a lot of cool creative stuff happening but since then the creators have said nope 13 is going to be the max on piston pushing now granted this gives me i think i said 120 i’m pretty sure it’s 130 Uh now that i rechecked my math this gives you 130 just just over uh two stacks of cobblestone clearly if you wanted to you could take this setup apply it to a whole nother edge and keep going as long as you wanted to but again just for practical demonstration purposes this Is the sole of the mechanics that you need so when you get done however much cobblestone you’ve generated you can hit this circuit breaker here and then take your old trusty pickaxe and mine to your heart’s content of course i’m in creative so i’m not going to be collecting any of this And then you know if you’re running a sky block or something that’s dependent on infinite cobblestone generation to actually have world this can come in incredibly handy uh it is kind of a shotgun design so if you don’t have the space then you don’t have the space Uh there are probably other ways to configure it to kind of consolidate the space a little bit better uh this is just what i chose to do because i’m in a super flat world and have all the space in the world um but yeah let me know what you guys think if you Enjoyed this demonstration this is just a short video not meant to be a series but if it gets good reception then i will continue finding fun ways to play with the minecraft mechanics and make cool things happen uh i’ve got a couple ideas in the hopper Just in case you guys want to see more but i’ll leave it up to you let me know and as always be happy be healthy and of course stay safe i’ll see you guys next time Bye You Video Information

A new segment approaches! in this Dragon Short, we explore how to fully take advantage of the cobblestone generating mechanics in Minecraft. Helpful for those who need material but just don’t have the time to grind. Thanks for joining me on this journey!
