1.22 Basalt Generator Design

1.22 Basalt Generator Design

The 1.22 update changed how water and lava interact, which disrupted my old basalt generator design that was capable of producing 5 rock per single block broken. I never posted about that design, but made a graphic explaining how to build my new version and figured some people might appreciate it here.

This generator produces 1 rock and 2-3 stones per rock broken, allows consistent afk mining with no downtime, and produces over 2 stacks of rock and 5 stacks of stones per minute.

Requires at least a single lava source block at least 4 blocks above mantle, a hammer and chisel, and 25+ preferably non-flammable blocks. Mods for buckets capable of holding lava make this way easier.

I'm willing to answer any questions people have regarding it, and I'm interested if anyone has better designs or a way to get a better rock/stone ratio.
