5 Minute Lava Farm Tutorial for Minecraft 1.21 [and 1.17+]

🎬 ABOUT THE VIDEO
Today we're building a quick AFK lava farm for Minecraft 1.21 (It works in 1.17 through 1.21.4) It's part of my series on 5 Minute Farms where I show you a tutorial for how to build early farms and mid-game Minecraft farms in under 5 minutes.

This build should work in 1.17 and does work in 1.18, but requires dripstone so will not work before that. It does work in 1.19, 1.20 and 1.21 Minecraft updates.

BEDROCK FIXES
You need to make one small change. Instead of a button to trigger the first cauldron moving around, you need levers on each of the 4 pistons.

When you're ready to start the farm at any point, simply make sure all the pistons are in their normal, retracted state. Then quickly flip the lever on and off on the one that has the extra cauldron in the corner. The button is too slow and they all move before the piston has pulled back on bedrock which breaks it instantly, but if you use a lever and quickly flip it on/off, it works.

Buckets of lava, no Nether.

(This fix is added directly to the new Lava Super Smelter video)
