Uses dripstone and cauldrons to create lava and turrets to pick them up with interact then resetting them to their original position with launch.
Signs in the schematic are instructions, they do not need to be placed.
Do fit the farm inside a single chunk to minimise risk of breakage.

Design Specifications

  • Uses only three turrets to manage a large number of cauldrons.
  • Easily expandable
  • Does not require any addons (most lava farms rely on Starbunclemania's pickup_fluid glyph)
  • Fits within a single chunk
  • Cheaper and simpler redstone than most other designs (0 repeaters and slime)

if you convert all the lava into source using a volcanic sourcelink, this setup should net you around 27 jars per hour (not much)
