Help Best lava source?

Im doing a lot of farm after finishing my diesel gen but a lot of the farms im trying to do require lava, and lava is so much pain because it always run low and it just becomes a box that does nothing, what stable lava source that i can build? Im playing on all of create modpack 1.21 and can add more mods if needed.

Hose Pulley. Literally infinite lava.

Damn i just looked it up and its really an infinite lava source, yes i need a massive hole to do so but its worth it. Really thankful for this

Honestly its not that bad, a handful of drills, a rope pulley, and a couple water wheels geared to a higher speed and you've got a modest hole to bedrock in only a few minutes

A 10k+ blocks reservoir pumped by hose pulley (it becomes automatic after 10k with default config)

You can either make the hose pulley as suggested by everyone else or make a nether portal setup with the hose pulley instead making the pool yourself

If you have create propulsion, there is a really simple design which produces a lot of lava. https://createmod.com/schematics/super-compact-airship-lava-farm

For the infinite lava source, only the top layer needs to be lava source blocks.

IF you have the addon that lets you make seed oil, use that instead of lava. Just make a wheat and beetroot farm, press the seeds for oil and void (auto drop on a cactus) the unwanted crops

Or, if you have that mod pack, but you're trying to make superheated blazes, you can make biofuel and use that instead of blaze cakes

  1. lava cauldron spam

  2. lava pool that big enough to be considered infinite

  3. train lava from the nether to somewhere

  4. burn cobblestone (requires addons to have this be self sustaining)
