A small mod spurned on by a discord conversation about how annoying it can be that there is no easy way of creating lava without purging the Nether!
Requires Forge:
1.17.1:HutosLib v2.22
1.18.2: HutosLib v3.50
1.19.4: HutosLib v4.5.0
1.20.1: Hutoslib v5.1.0+
JEI is also recommended.
Powered by all normal furnace fuels, and can be used with hoppers for automation(Fuel = South, Bucket = East, Output = Bottom, Input = Top).
If empty buckets are placed in the far left it will use them up to fill the bucket, otherwise, it'll create a single-use 'Thermal Shard' which can be used to place a single lava source block.
Recipe:
NOW WITH FLUID SUPPORT!
