Cobble is not that useless, you need it for furnaces, and in middle-earth, you will likely need A LOT if you want to build yourself something awesome. There is a mod that allows you to make cobble into gravel by "banging rocks together (placing 2 cobble in a crafting area)" and there is also one wich allows you to get flint from dirt when you break it the first time.
