18k Lava Bucket Farm

## Designer - @金合欢酱(acaciachan) ## Versions - 1.17+ ## Rates - Lava Bucket: 18k/h ## Lag Info - Test environment: CPU i5-13600kf 5.1G mc1.20.4 with Lithium - Working: 3mspt ## Description - 18k lava bucket farm with very fewlava sources, only 8.4k lava sources ## Positives - Low lag compared to other existing designs - Requires very few lava sources (8.4k) ## Instructions ### Notes - If the farm is broken (maybe from unloading the chunks while operating), check every piston near the crying obsidians (refer figure 1.), they shouldn't have any blocks right in front of them ### Build - You can fill up the lava sources partially at first until you can get enough amount of lava to fill up the entire farm ### How to use 1. Flick the lever to toggle the farm, refer figure 2. 2. Stand at the AFK spot and hold right click 3. Wait for around 30 seconds after turning off the farm for the farm to fully shut down ## Design Specifications 1. Every lava generating module will output a cauldron on 8gt interval, but only 26.7% (a little bigger than 1/4) of the cauldrons are full 2. The system will try to replace the full cauldron with an empty one, and the full one will be sent to a cache 3. The lava cauldron cache will try to output a lava cauldron every 32gt 4. The lava cauldrons from 8 modules will be merged into a single 4gt block stream and then sent to the player 5. The lava cauldrons will then get emptied and the 4gt block stream output will be split into 8x 32gt block streams 6. The empty cauldrons will be sent into a empty cauldron cache, which will loop back into the system again
