Branch mining is fun and often produces a lot of cobblestone, just watch out for lava.

Sigurd if you need a good mining pick you can take one of the Efficiency/Unbreaking ones in my southern village. I also left an Efficiency IV or two at TC's place while I was using his XP farm. I used the anvil to create a pretty powerful composite.

[Sigurd]

Yeah, I've got about 15 chests of cobble. You're welcome to take a large quantity (10+ chests) if you'd like.

I've never looked at Power Craft specifically, so I'll take a look at it and see if it looks balanced for the server.

If it is not balanced (not tried it myself, just threw out an example), then so be it. No hard feelings.

Alternatively, enchant a diamond pickaxe with Efficiency IV and then chug a haste potion. Stone will evaporate in front of you.

I just happen to have one... But I would like it to get unbreakable AND silk touch (sic?) on it.
The 30 exp that I lost in the minecart accident between Arena and the n00b hotel and that you kindly restored to me got me Efficiency IV on the diamond pick axe I brought. (I walked the line, but found only half the gear I brought. There should be a diamond pick axe, diamond sword and a gold helmet somewhere on the line between Arena and n00b hotel. If found - they are mine)

I made a working smooth stone generator on the top of my mountain, so I shouldn't lack for raw materials. If it could only be supplied with a stone crusher...
A diamond pick axe with unbreakable, efficiency and silk touch, would make it an unlimited source of smooth stone for my castle walls.

I've contemplated installing this mod before. If I did, I think it could do what you're looking for. All you'd have to do would be to hook up the end of your smooth stone generator to a piston pushing into a chest. The generator would then just keep adding stone into the chest and you'd be able to pull it out without mining. At least, I think that's how it would work.

Yeah.. and with the limit of .. was it 13 stone a piston could push out.. you could potentially have 13 chests sitting along the column of smooth stone and have the pistons activated as soon as the column reached the max length.
The generator can push stone vertically OR horizontally

I didn't think of using it with multiple chests in that way, but that's very clever. I'll install the plugin later today.

Silk Touch seems to be rare enough that it may be better to smelt cobblestone. The XP generated is also nice.

Server updated to 1.4.5, PistonChest installed, MobArena skeletons fixed.

[edit]PistonChest disabled... it was causing serious server issues. This is likely a compatibility issue with 1.4.5 and will hopefully be fixed soon.

So is there an easy way to adapt the sand generator to work with the current version, or should I have a shot at making the one Tincow posted a page or so back?

[TinCow]

AFAIK, there is no way to generate sand in the current version of the game.

Phew! Good thing I stocked up on sandstone as a precaution.

Aridhol, if you need smooth sandstone, I have plenty. But I'm not sure how much I need.

Are you all sure???
My Sand generator in my creative test world is still working even after the upgrade to 1.4.5

It's the multiplayer that screws it up.

It works fine on Vanilla 1.4.5, but not Bukkit.

Yeah.. that was a pitty. Good thing we had a stress test of it right away.
I had 3 sets of double chests on my smooth stone generator that worked fine... until something happened and the pistons was no longer able to push the stones into the chests.
