huh. i certainly didn't get inspiration from it,
don't even know what it is. i know now.
OHhh cooldawson open your server :D
I've created an obsidian generator.

Pros:
Resource light, only requires 9 redstone, 4 redstone torches, 1 water source block, 1 lava source block, and just some slabs and stone to make the structure. not to mention you get unlimited obsidian.
Trap-maker's wet dream
cons:
Minecraft seems to have some loving dumb lava physics, so flipping the switch will not delete the lava. you have to go in and place blocks to get the lava to stop being a dumbass- which now that i think of it, it can be automated with pistons. hmmm..
you have to load the "conversion area" with redstone for each use, as the redstone turns into obsidian for some reason, which is how this contraption works.
QUESTION- should i create a topic for these thingies, so i can stop spamming this topic with them, or is it fine to keep here?
