With the Buckets in hand, you must fill one of them with water and one with lava. Then,pick out a spot where you want to generate Cobblestone and create a line of four blocks.

With the hole prepared, pour the Bucket filled with water into the gap. On the opposite end, pour the lava, which will flow connect with the water and turn into a Cobblestone. Just be careful about the lava & water placemebt, as doing it the wrong way will create Obsidion and not Cobblestone.

Once you’re ready to reap the harvest, whip out your Pickaxe and start hitting the Cobblestone. You’ll collect it as soon as it’s broken, and the lava will hit the water in the empty gap, creating another block of Cobblestone. Congratulations, you now have an infinite supply of Cobblestone available to you within your base.
