What is Cauldron in Minecraft?
A cauldron is a utility block that looks like a large, iron pot. Its main purpose is to hold liquids, specifically water, lava, and powder snow. A cauldron can be filled with these liquids and then used for a variety of tasks. It is a versatile block that has uses in potion making, dyeing armor, and even for putting out fires. It is also the job site block for the leatherworker villager. While it might seem like a simple block, the cauldron has a surprising number of unique and helpful functions that make it a valuable addition to any player's base, especially for those who work with potions and armor.
How to get Cauldron in Minecraft
The only way to get a cauldron is by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world, although you can sometimes find one in a witch hut, a village leatherworker's house, or in the basement of an igloo. The crafting recipe is very simple but requires a good amount of iron. You will need seven iron ingots. To get iron ingots, you need to mine iron ore and smelt it in a furnace. Once you have your seven iron ingots, open a crafting table. Arrange the ingots in a U shape, filling the left and right columns completely, and placing one ingot in the center of the bottom row. This will leave the top middle and center middle slots empty. This recipe will give you one cauldron.
How to use Cauldron in Minecraft
A cauldron has many uses depending on what you put in it. You can fill it with water by using a water bucket on it. A full cauldron holds three bottles worth of water, which you can use to fill glass bottles for potion brewing. You can also use a water filled cauldron to wash the dye off of leather armor or shulker boxes. You can also use it to extinguish yourself if you are on fire. You can fill a cauldron with lava, which can be used as a light source or a trash can for unwanted items. You can also fill it with powder snow, which can be used to trap mobs. A cauldron will also slowly fill with water when it is raining. Finally, it is the job block for the leatherworker villager.
