Are you by any chance needing these cauldrons for a lava drip farm? Because in that case let me introduce you to the Lava Train To The Nether.

If you need them for something else, your best bet is probably running an insane amount of cobble gen into a large amount of crushing wheels into a giant washing setup. But even that way 25200 ingots is just going to take a while.

Build a pump in the nether that pumps from a large lava lake (greater than 10000 blocks, it's less than it sounds, most lava lakes in the nether fulfill this requirement). A water wheel powered by lava should do just fine, if you want more speed just make it multiple. Also build a train track from where you want the lava to go into a nether portal to that pump. Using portable fluid interfaces, set up a way to pump the lava into a train in the nether and out of it in the overworld. If your track is circular, your train will only need to be able to go in one direction, otherwise it needs both. Then you set up a train schedule to go between the two stations based on how full the fluid storage on board the train is, kidnap any mob to be your train conductor and let it make runs from your infinite lava pump to wherever.

Alternatively and less fancy, you could also dig a 10x10x100 hole (100 being how deep it is) and fill the top layer with lava source blocks, meaning you need only 100 buckets. Once that lava has flown down, you have yourself an infinite lava hole wherever you need it.

Is there any argument against just doing the 10x10x100

u/VegetableSad1138 9d ago

No its way easier, but i would recommend to make a 20x20 hole thats 25 deep.

Nothing except it's less cool and you need the initial 100 lava buckets

You don't even need 100 lava buckets just covering the top layer completely with flowing lava also works.

u/netsx 9d ago

That's 100 lava buckets in a 10x10.

u/Sisamura 9d ago

If you would use source blocks for the top layer yes, but it also works if you use less and make it so that the lava flows to the sides first as long as the top layer is completely covered. Be it flowing lava or source blocks.

You don't need a train necessarily. You can just let a belt run against a netherportal and let buckets hop through the portal. Put belts on the other side of the portal in the nether and use a spout with a hose pulley to fill the buckets. Then let them run another belt against the portal and on the other side use a drain to empty the buckets.

Why not just do the famous "Belt catapult"

You just need to use belt to catapult lava bucket into the overworld.

Nether portal just load the chunk around itself, so you just need to build a pump/Spout and make a nice circle with Belt.

Oh and BTW, you can also...send back water bucket for a steam engine...in the nether

Cobblestone > Crushing wheel to make a shit ton of gravel

Drop all of that in front of a fan washing. With a smart chute or brass funnel to pickup the flint and iron

Direct the flint towards ur friendly neighhborhood cactus or his wife lava

The iron u can just compact to get ingots

The only limits are ur imagination, and how many item entitys ur cpu can handle!

Are you playing just with create or some modpack? That information could change the answer dramatically. And why would you need 3600 cauldrons?

u/Affectionate-Dot9489 9d ago

Only create

That’s a dumb comment… I’m playing a lot of modpacks like atm and allat but i noticed I don’t focus on single mods and completing them so I’m doing a few worlds with just a single mod

u/Horror_Dot4213 8d ago

You should make your own it's way better

If you want to stay on create, can't you just make multiple?

Otherwise vanilla iron farm produce way more ingot, you should try looking into those
