It convient and the other ppl who don't mine like farm or chop wood down don't have to ask just leave them a pick at generator and there you go now they won't ask you for cobble = win for miner
because when im working on a big project i need chests of cobble full for, i prefer them for their proximity to chests, food and furnaces. more effiecient then aquiring it with mining if i have a stack of iron blocks there anyway.
EDIT: btw, does anyone know a fairly effiecient generator? my current keeps burning up my cobble.
I've used them on Skyblock maps (because there is no stone to mine) and back when we had skylands (because mining was likely to lead to thin air and a long drop)
But you still lose a small percentage of the blocks that drop into the lava and burn. Any way to eliminate that? Or do you just have to deal with it and move on?

A good one i made was to build a glass chamber kinda thing, basically make a 6x2x1 in the pour the lava and water in, find where they touch, block off both sides so they dont touchm but leave a gap in the middle, put a piston on one side, and leave the other side open, take out the one blocks, they use the piston to make like 10 cobble, then go mine it and repeat.
this is what is will look like

G = glass or what ever you make it out of
l = lava
w = water
p = piston
e = nothing
Cobblestone generators take less work. If you just need cobblestone, you don't need to set up a whole mining excavation. Just stand in front of the generator and hole the mouse button down.

Ikr, You can get cobblestone much faster if you just go underground and dig.
It isn't much faster underground if you have the generator at the build site itself because you are cutting out the transit time, plus some custom maps are set up such that you need to make a cobblestone generator to actually get stone.

Just waiting for Forge to officially release for 1.13.x to remove unneeded mobs from 1.13, like Phantoms, from the game because, in my gameplay based opinion, they add nothing of value to the game.
Fun fact: Clicking a bed every 30 minutes doesn't make you a better player, it makes you one who clicks a bed every 30 minutes. Wouldn't you rather just mod them out of the game completely?

I use them in surface areas where I'm not sure I want to dig yet. I also use them in places where I want to spend more time building then digging in survival. Finally I'm closer to trees, food, and shelter on the surface with a generator then down in a mine.
If you're building in the desert, island, forest plains or other biome where mountains don't exist....good luck mining out a mountain.

You haven't seen my cobblestone generator then :3

-Doesn't burn anything
-Perfect return rate (100%)

@Piston power can move that cobble to a safe spot so when you mine it it doesn't fall back into the lava. (watch video and see)

why not spell correctly?

I consider that cheating though, why not just give yourself cobble with tmi!??
