I've Never really Looked into How to make one and I thought Instead of Googling It I would Use this Website Because I've grown Really Fond of this Website, Anyways can Anybody Please Tell e How to make a Cobblestone Generator as Descriptive as they Can?
The simplest one is rather simple... no redstone required.
You need 1 water source & 1 lava source. So 2 buckets filled with 1 of each of those. Just make a mold, or better yet dig down 1 and make a trench that is 1x5 put the lava source on one side and the water source on the other. preferably in that order. The center of the 1x5 will now be a cobblestone generator...:D
of course you could dig a 1x1 hole from the center of the 5x1 so you will be able to mine that generator easily...

This is one worth googling (or doing a search on YouTube). The basic principle is always the same = water meeting flowing lava; but there are several different configurations, some of which have a higher tendency than others to lose the cobblestone in the lava. You should also check out smooth stone generators that place the water over the lava (since some of these are less prone to losing drops and smooth stone minedwithout a silk touch pickaxe will generate cobblestone anyway. I haven't actually built one of these yet - it's next on my list - but I figure if you use a silk touch pickaxe with one of these, you get ready-made smooth stone without having to smelt it).
1)have one block of water on left
2) place one cobblestone to right of water
3)place lava on right side of cobblestone.
4)break the cobblestone and a new one will appear
here is a pic of what it should look like
make sure the water and lava dont flow everywhere

If you want information about the game but don't wanna click either links or you just want more information. then go to my profile Bio, Or send me a message.
Play with it in creative, and make one you like.. pistons, no pistons. There's different ways to make em, and yeah just go for it.
I played a "skyblock" and got into how to make the most efficient piston-less based one... good times.

thats cool i didnt even know you could make a piston one
looks like i got something to try

speaking of a cobblestone generator i should make one by my house so i wont constanly go mining

that will not exactly work because water has a faster flow rate than lava. In your setup, eventually the water will hit the lava source and create obsidian (I was just experimenting on one of these last night.)
Below is a side viewof what I got to work best. This arrangement may be used with pistons to produce both vertical and horizontal generators (though vertical doesn't work as well).
Dig a trench 4 long X 1 wide and dig an additional spot 1 block down, 1 block from one end. Water source goes in the side closest to the additional hole, lava goes in the opposite end. Cobblestone will form in the block in between the additional hole and the lava. (The additional downward hole ensures the water will never flow into the cobbestone generation point, turning the lava source to obsidian).
The nice thing about this arrangement is that it can easily be stacked side to side to create self-healing walls.

Honestly, I never understood why people need a cobblestone generator. You can easily get cobblestone anywhere. Even in your house, just dig down another level and you have all the cobblestone you need.... and as a bonus you clear out space.

But to each their own, I suppose.
I do pretty much agree with this... but It's just one of those things to do you know.. it's minecraft.. Making a cobblestone generator at least once is pretty much mandatory

i know but it will save time instead of going in the earth

thanks fur telling me that. mine was only a guess because ive only seen it be done but i will try to improve that

It's not like you have to delve deep for stone. 3-4 blocks and you're there.
yes but answer me this. would you rather get out of bed look one block left and get cobblestone. or would you rather dig holes go down grab cobblestone dig/build out then go home if ur not at home.

why not both, or a mix of the 2. I mean some projects need to be dug out, and that means stone and resources usually are gained through this. I think of the generator as a secondary method of gaining cobble/stone when I don't have a project that involves digging out the base per say, or what ever I intend on doing at that moment...:D

I think the reason this doesn't hold much appeal to me is that I regularly fill my inventory with cobblestone as a byproduct of my mining activities, so I rarely find myself in a position where I NEED to get more cobblestone.... and when I do, I just go down and mine some more.
i didnt think you still used the minecraft forum wolfe

i used to be that way; but with all the huge, huge caves I've been finding lately, I'm finding that I'm not coming back from mining with very much cobblestone at all. Now, I use the cobblestone I generate to build safer stairways in these caves as well as for doing bigger stone builds. It's actually come in handier than I originally thought it would.

This +1
the old method of placing torches on just one side of the wall doesn't work as well any more because of the numerous intersecting passages (I.e. swiss cheese caves). i've taken to laying cobblestone paths along the floor of my explored caves (like roads, along with stairs) and even placing signs as direction markers. sometimes it's easier to lay in new cobblestone rather than just dig up a path and re-lay it.

Yeah, you can go from the simple to the complicated pretty quick.
