Most solid blocks like stone and wood cannot be broken by redstone contraptions, only moved.
for example, a redstone 'tree farm' moves logs out of the way for more trees to be planted, but those logs cannot be harvested and put into chest automatically. A player is still needed to manually mine them. Same with cobblestone generators, you can get a piston to move the cobble out of the way, but nothing in the game can automatically dig it. A block breaker would open up full automation of most solid blocks.

That's where hoppers, water, and TNT igniter come into play. TNT causes all broken blocks to drop as items, and the water pushes them to the hoppers for collection.

At least, that's how the MC tree farms work, as I just watched a video on it, before responding to this.
So, what are your thoughts on using in-game mechanics for this, instead?
