Simple Cobble Gen
by LukeGi
Simple Cobble Gen adds a Cobblestone Generator block that produces cobblestone on a timer, and it can be powered by energy instead of running on its own.
What it does
The Cobblestone Generator is a machine that makes cobblestone, and players can collect the output as soon as it appears. Some setups use the mod to keep a steady supply of cobblestone without mining, which is useful in modpacks where stone is needed in large quantities.
Making cobblestone with this machine uses power, and the energy cost is set in the mod's configuration file, where the requirement is given per tick in RF. Server owners who want to change the rate or cost can edit that file. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge only, for five game versions: 1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.19 and 1.20. The latest Forge file is 1.0.3 for 1.20, released on 2023-06-10. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the project is open source.
Key features

Power-driven machine
The machine draws energy to produce cobblestone, and the power requirement is configurable in the mod's configuration file.
Configurable energy cost
The energy required per cobblestone is set in RF in the configuration file, so modpack makers can adjust it.

What the author says
This is a mod that adds a Cobblestone Generator... This is not a machine that makes power from cobble, but a machine that makes cobble, optionally using power. Yes, you can use this in your pack... so long as the pack, and therefore my mod, is not being sold for money.
