Bottomless Lava Cauldron

A magma-ringed cauldron that, once awakened, never runs dry of lava.

Pattern​

Hover a tile to name it. Reading pattern diagrams explains the symbols.

How it works​

Draw lava from the cauldron once and the pattern is spent. The cauldron that remains never runs dry. Right-click it with an empty bucket to fill it with lava, as often as you like.

Filling a chest of buckets​

Set a chest or other container directly beneath the cauldron and fill it with empty buckets. Right-click the cauldron, and every empty bucket in that container fills with lava at once. The depths surge — 16 bucket(s) filled in the chest below.

Tips​

  • An endless lava source makes a fine fuel station for ordinary furnaces.
  • A Scribe can lift the bottomless magic off the cauldron.

Bottomless Water Cauldron and Bottomless Snow Cauldron work the same way.

Configuration​

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/bottomlesslavacauldron.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Bottomless Lava Cauldron has no settings of its own beyond the shared ones.
