Cauldrons are a form of brewing equipment that appeared in 1.9 Beta. They were later replaced with the Brewing Stand because of the inconvenient method of brewing with the cauldron. It would have been used to make Potions using Brewing Recipes.

UsesEdit

As of Beta 1.9 Pre-release 3, Cauldrons can now be crafted, and used to store Water. Cauldrons can now refill Glass Bottles with the water required for Brewing. Each Cauldron holds three bottles worth of water, which is equal to a single Bucket. Despite being able to fill up any empty bottles with any regular source block, cauldrons have a new feature that allows them to emit a redstone signal when a Redstone Comparator is placed beside it. The more water that's inside it, the stronger the signal.

TriviaEdit

• Cauldrons cannot hold Lava or Milk.
• Potions can be brewed in 1.9 Beta Pre-Release 2 by adding a bucket of water along with various other ingredients to a Cauldron which then runs them through a mathematical algorithm that can result in one of over two thousand different potions with positive or negative effects.
• When broken, Cauldrons do not drop water, only the Cauldron itself.
• When the Cauldron is being mined with water in it, the mining animation will superimpose itself over the water as well.
• If a cauldron is outside, when it rains the cauldron has the potential to fill with water.
• As of 13w01a Cauldrons share the same texture as Hoppers.
