How to Make a Lava Farm in Minecraft

Last updated
Ever wondered how you can create an endless supply of lava in Minecraft? Well, you’re in luck! Today, we’re diving into exactly how you can set up your very own lava farm and keep your furnaces burning endlessly.
Setting up a lava farm in Minecraft might sound like a tricky task, but with the right tools and a bit of know-how, you’ll find it’s quite straightforward. Let’s break down the steps to get your lava farm flowing!
The Quick Answer to Building a Lava Farm
First off, starting a lava farm in Minecraft requires a few key ingredients: buckets, a source block of lava, and a secure location. The process involves collecting lava in buckets and creating a system to dispense and collect it efficiently.
Unfortunately, unlike water, you cannot create an infinite source of lava directly in the game. This means you’ll need to find a pool of lava and use buckets to transport it to your farm location. However, with the introduction of the 1.17 update, you can use dripstones to slowly fill cauldrons with lava, creating a renewable lava source over time.
