Here's a fun little challenge build that's also quite useful:


In BTW survival, create a room that has three double chests (not any other container).

The first chest is full of cobblestone
The second chest is full of stone
The third chest is full of mossy cobblestone

All three chests automatically refill indefinitely.


The build you need to fulfill this challenge requires post-end tech and is quite large. Discuss how you'd do it, show some designs, etc. Who will be the first to post the finished project? :)

Use spoilers if you feel what you're posting might ruin the fun of others. It's not immediately clear to many people how to solve this puzzle :). Especially the part where you figure out how to collect cobble into a regular chest might be something people want to try to figure out themselves.

Brief thought/question on stone production:

You are correct but there is more than one way to get loose cobble

Ethinolicbob has the solution right there! Big spoiler if you want to figure it out yourself :)

Oh wow. I never thought of that :)

The point most of the time for us was to get all the kinds of blocks available in the storeroom for aesthetic builds, and to move a lot of them automatically after whatever processes needed to make them usually required said process. Of course it wasn't full proof as a lot of the time when you re logged on you would have to rebuild the crucial element in the build

Oooooh, Rianaru, that's really interesting, I'd love to see that in action.

it was made in vanilla Mc by some team long ago.

"three double chests (not any other container)"

So that's a no :p

Stone generator and wither can make loose cobble

Sorry for the response lag, I went out of country for a while. Further testing reveals that explosions are slightly bigger than i thought and i don't have the resources for as many pistons and redstone as are needed to refill the stone cube. remains theoretically possible, but just a theory :(

I feel kinda bad for ''necroing'' this but i found it interesting since smooth stone farming was one of my first tests with screw pumps years ago...
I wont spoil the challenge since im bringing this up again.

To someone who is interested in the result:
Edit:

Newer design made by me made this obsolete so just keep scrolling

block dispenser don't drop inventory sor it's not possible to use that, you must find other way to put stuff inside a chest !

i guess i misunderstood the challenge. i thought i had 3 types of stone to build a smooth stone factory.

I think i will count my smooth stone factory as completed because the amount of inventory space the 5 BD have are significant enough since its renewable quite fast.

I also have a cobblestone factory but was manual ill try to adapt it.

And also have some ideas about mossy.

So i made a few more tests found out a few things:

In order to fulfill Gil's challenge you will need: I made a contraption that gets all Gil wants but ignored some of the rules... (almost all)
If you are interested: The inside room with all wiring hidden The all mighty machine: The world map for closer look:

That's a pretty cool machine TSA :)

I'm just wondering how feasible it is with that high up lava source. Well-placed lava lake maybe? Underneath a village blacksmith? Cool design anyways :)

sometimes i see high level lava on mountain biom !

Thx for the map i will see you'r hard work !

How are people filling the chests without hoppers?


I mean technically you could have chest minecarts, and fill them externally, but that feels against the spirit of the challenge.
