This article is a work in progress.
Lava farming is the technique of using a pointed dripstone with a lava source above it and a cauldron beneath to obtain an infinite lava generator.
Renewable lava generation is based in the mechanic of pointed dripstone blocks being able to fill cauldrons with the droplets they drip while having a water or lava source two blocks above the base of the stalactite.¹
Given that a stalactite less than 11 blocks tall has a lava source two blocks above the uppermost block, and a cauldron within 10 blocks under the tip with no non-air blocks in between, with each random tick there is a 15⁄256 (~5.9%) chance for the cauldron to completely fill with lava.
In order to build a lava farm, you need to have a contained lava source with a pointed dripstone block set underneath the block under the lava source and a cauldron beneath the pointed dripstone block.
Presumably the blocks used to contain the lava should be non-flammable.
Although it may look like there should be at least one block of air between the pointed dripstone and the cauldron, the farm will work if there is no space between the pointed dripstone and the cauldron.
Note that the farm will not work if there is any block other than air between the dripstone and the cauldron. It will also not work if the lava source is not immediately above the block in which the stalactite is attached or the stalactite itself is more than ten blocks high.

Mar 19, 2024 · To set up your farm, place the cauldron on the ground and a block above it. Hang the pointed dripstone under the block. Make sure the area above the cauldron is closed off, but leave a space for the lava to drip into the cauldron. Pour your bucket of lava into the space above the cauldron.
Apr 17, 2024 · The depth of the farm should be around 20-25 blocks to allow for enough space to build the farm and collect the lava. Water and lava mixture: The ratio of water to lava should be around 1:2. This means that for every block of water, there should be two blocks of lava.
