Interesting idea. I just use the hopper under the generation area feeding into a chest then remove it all later.
I prefer a piston to move the cobblestone away from the lava before mining it, but in vanilla skyblock iron is hard to impossible to obtain so neither hoppers nor pistons are an option, at least early in the game.
Then I went into the corner of the block then mined one cobble.
Then I was inside it without any hassle.
Aha, now I understand, if you are closer to the lava than to the water then you get pushed towards the lava and the slab above it stops you from going that way. Thanks!
I was just playing Skyblock.
I found a weird way to mine cobble. So that it does not lose in the lava.
When you mine the cobble block, Stand on top of it.
And then Stand on the place where your cobble will generate.
Stay in the place and keep mining the cobblestone.
Like showed in the pictures.
Most of the times you will not lose the cobble.
Pretty clever!
I think you need to put a slab or something over the water as well, if I don't I keep getting pushed out of the cobblestone block into the water.
Just testing.

I made a hole beside the water.So that it does not flow me into the lava.
Well, you need the hole to keep the water from flowing into the lava and destroying it.
And that does stop the water from pushing you.
But when the cobblestone block is generated it tries to push you out of it, how did you keep from being pushed into the water?
I fixed that by placing a block above the water. Like the one you have above the lava.
Just testing.
Heres my design which I like due to the function and look! (Easy way to mine, hold down left-click while looking down at planks)-
Key:
S - Slab(can be replaced with blocks but uses less and looks cooler)
B- Block
W- Water Source
WF- Water Flowing
L- Lava
P- Planks
CS- Where cobble is genned
A - Air

I was getting pushed out.

Not bad, OP
