You need to have a dripstone block underneath the lava instead of stone

Make sure the lava isn’t flowing and is a source block

It can take a while. Just wait and it’ll happen. Your setup looks fine.

How long are you giving it?
There’s only a 5.9% chance for the cauldron to fill with lava each time the dripstone gets randomly ticked. It averages about one minecraft day to fill a single cauldron with lava, but it can take significantly less or more time depending on the RNG.
To make a functional lava farm you’re better off making a whole array of these, not just one.

u gotta put the dripstone one block higher

It takes a long time.

It takes time, and the time is only counted while the chunks that the farm are in stay loaded. Depending on what Edition of the game you are using and whether you have changed the settings, moving as few as 64 blocks away could unload the farm until you return.

As long as it displays lava droplets in the animation, then it’s working. Just takes a super long time. It’s like filling a gas tank with a turkey baster instead of a fuel pump.

I’m pretty sure you need an air block between the pointed dripstone and the cauldron

Increase the spacing between the dripstone and the cauldron

Are you on bedrock or Java? I dont think it works on bedrock, I could be wrong though as ive never done this farm. Lol

Try replacing the stone with a dripstone block

You need a dripstone block under the lava with a stalactite under that to work.

If I had to guess, it needs at least one air block between it and the cauldron to work.
Basically the game is registering the dripstone as touching the cauldron already, leaving no room for a “drip” to occur. Space it and see what happens.

It might be your version. I’ve made several lava farms like this in Bedrock that work just fine.

use a slab instead? idk throwing ideas

have you guys ever set up a farm where only one of the cauldrons doesn’t fill up?

You’re using stone, change it to drip stone block

If you play in Badrock-Edition, you need to use a dripstone-block under Lava.

I’ve had issues with it being this close to each other. Have you tried adding a space between the drop stone and cauldron ?
