The Core is 3x3x3 but you will need 5x5x4 to have boundaries for the flowing water.
This has been my favorite simple Cobble-Generator for years now and still works perfectly in modern Minecraft 6 or 7 years after it was originally designed. I recently discovered that the original video that this design came from no longer exists on youtube for some reason, so I'm doing my part to help keep this design alive and available for all the Minecrafters who hadn't even heard of Minecraft back when this was first created.
- This is a design created by AvidyaZen back in 2011 or earlier and shared in a video of his, which unfortunately is no longer on youtube. But thankfully slackathor posted a text Cobble Generator review in 2011 where he showed this Cobble Generator Design in a Text/Smiley "Pictogram" format.
-- Below is a fixed/clearer and newer version that I made of slackathor's original template:
= Cobble
= Smooth Stone or anything that won't burn
= Water source
= Flowing water
= Lava source
= Empty space
(Layer 1 - The Bottom Layer)
(Layer 2)
(Layer 3)
Original Version: (I changed this above to have a solid ceiling in the lower left corner of the diagram. This is because back when this was made there was no auto-climb so when you walked up to the edge you stayed where you needed to be, but now with the old design you climb up onto the edge every time and can no longer mine, it's very annoying. So the old design below should be considered deprecated.
(Layer 3)
* After it is built just start breaking the 2 Cobbles with a pick-axe and they will keep regenerating.
This generator is pretty quick to build. The spot where you hack away at the cobble is safe, and you can just hold down the mouse button and drift from one block to the other. For those of you who have mastered the art of drift mining, this might be the generator for you. Yield: 108/ stone pick. (132 possible)
Below is the Double-Cobble Generator Template Diagram put into a single picture, in case the forum software changes again which could destroy the original pictograms.

I had an AFK'd cobblegen design like this accidentally wash me off into the void because the click-focus was left on Minecraft. This meant that ANY movement of the mouse changed where you were looking at and eventually you'd knock out blocks holding you (or the water) in place. I dislike these "up close" designs because of that, so now when I wish to AFK I point the mouse straight up and build multiple cobblegens all the way up to reach limit. This is more for futureproofing when I get the ubertools, since stone and iron are just too slow to drill all the way through that much cobble before the next batch forms.
Also, by putting it above me, I can decorate the visible portions on the bottom and build the cobblegens out of obsidian.

I've used this design in Skyblock before, it's pretty cool.
