A cauldron is a block that can hold water, lava, and powder snow.‌[upcoming: JE 1.17 & BE 1.17.0] In Bedrock Edition, they can also hold potions and dyed water. It is also a job site block used by leatherworkers in villages.

Obtaining

Cauldrons can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. When a cauldron is destroyed, its contents are lost.

Natural generation

File:Natural Cauldron Table.png
A naturally occurring cauldron inside of a witch hut.

A single empty cauldron is generated in each swamp hut. In Bedrock Edition, the cauldrons generated there are 1⁄3 to 2⁄3 full of a random potion.

A cauldron 2⁄3 full of water is generated in each igloo basement.

Cauldrons can be found in a few rooms inside of woodland mansions.

Two filled cauldrons can be found inside savanna, taiga, snowy taiga, and snowy tundra village tannery houses.

A single filled cauldron can be found in plains village and desert village tannery houses.

In Java Edition, three filled cauldrons can be found in plains village tannery houses.

Crafting

A cauldron can be crafted from iron ingots.

Usage

Storage for substances

Cauldrons can hold a variety of substances. Fluids they cannot hold include milk, honey and any food items which exist in bowls; namely mushroom stew, beetroot soup, rabbit stew and suspicious stew.

Holding water

Template:FakeImage

A cauldron can be filled with water by using a water bucket on the cauldron. Once completely filled, a cauldron can be used to fill a water bucket by using an empty bucket on the cauldron; this empties the cauldron. Despite containing water, using a fish bucket on a cauldron does not fill it with water, but places water against it.[1]

One level of water can be added to a cauldron by using a water bottle on it. One level of water can be removed from a cauldron, filling a water bottle, by using a glass bottle on it.

A cauldron slowly fills with water when rained upon, if starting empty or with some water. This happens randomly, at 5% of the rate in which snow accumulates on the ground during snowfall.

Water can be stored in a cauldron even in the Nether. Water in a cauldron does not freeze in cold biomes.

Water in a cauldron does not absorb explosion damage; make sounds and particles; absorb fall damage; or damage endermen, striders, or blazes. Cauldrons do not deal drowning damage to mobs inside of them and fish act as if there is no water inside it. The player cannot float or swim in it, and no bubble or water particles are produced.

A cauldron placed below a down-facing pointed dripstone that has water placed a block above it will slowly fill up with water.‌[upcoming: JE 1.17]

Attempting to add lava or potion to water empties the cauldron.‌[Bedrock Edition only]

A cauldron also does not count as a riptide source.

Applying dye to cauldron water

Template:Exclusive Template:FakeImage

Since In Bedrock Edition, leather armor is dyed through a cauldron, a cauldron can hold dyed water. Using a dye on a cauldron filled with water colors the water, consuming the dye. Different dyes may be added to produce mixed colors. Using leather armor or leather horse armor on the cauldron dyes that item the color of the water, reducing the water in the cauldron by one level for each item dyed.

Attempting to add water, lava or potion to dyed water empties the cauldron.

Holding lava

Template:Exclusive Template:Snapshot

File:Lava Cauldron.png
Cauldron filled with lava‌[BE & EE only]‌[upcoming: JE 1.17]

In Bedrock and Education editions and ‌in Java Edition 1.17‌[upcoming], cauldrons can be used to hold lava. In Bedrock and Education editions, when a cauldron is already filled with water, it empties the cauldron and makes an extinguishing sound. A cauldron filled with lava emits a light level of 15, similar to lava, and burns any entity inside of it; in Bedrock and Education editions, this includes mobs that do not take damage from lava like zombified piglins.

Lava inside a cauldron does not interact with water outside of the cauldron. The lava disappears upon putting water in the cauldron.

A redstone comparator with a lava cauldron behind it outputs redstone signal strength of 1 ‌in Java Edition 1.17‌[upcoming][2] or 3 in Bedrock and Education editions.[3]

A cauldron placed below a down-facing pointed dripstone that has lava placed a block above it will slowly fill up with lava.

Holding powder snow

Template:Snapshot Template:FakeImage

Powder snow is currently the only solid material which can be stored in a cauldron. A cauldron slowly fills with powder snow during snowfall, if starting empty or with layers of powder snow already inside. Up to three layers can be filled. When the cauldron is full, interacting using a bucket, will create a powder snow bucket and empty the cauldron. Entities standing in the cauldron will not take freeze damage, and entities wearing leather boots will still fall through the powder snow.

A redstone comparator with a powder snow cauldron behind it outputs a redstone signal strength proportional to the fill level, up to 3.

Contrary to a cauldron filled with water, a powder snow cauldron, which is not full, cannot be filled up with a powder snow bucket, using the bucket on the cauldron instead places powder snow against it.

Filling cauldrons with potions

Template:Exclusive Template:FakeImage

In Bedrock Edition, a cauldron can hold normal potions, splash potions and lingering potions. Using a potion on a cauldron empties the potion and increases the level of the potion in the cauldron by one level. A glass bottle can then be used on a cauldron with a potion in it, filling the bottle with that potion. This reduces the potion in the cauldron by one level.

Using an arrow on a cauldron that has potion transforms the arrow into a tipped arrow with that potion effect, and reduce the potion in the cauldron by one level. Tipping multiple arrows at once can be more efficient, and it may use more than one level at once. 1 level of potion tips up to 16 arrows, 2 levels up to 32, and a full cauldron can tip a full stack of arrows, resulting in 21.33 tipped arrows per potion.

Attempting to put water, lava or a different potion into a cauldron with a potion causes an explosion sound, and the cauldron is emptied.

An entity that stands in a cauldron filled to any level with any potion does not receive the effect of the potion.

Removing dye from items

A cauldron with water can wash the dye off of leather armor and shulker boxes, and can remove the top-most pattern layer of a banner, by pressing use on the cauldron with the leather armor, shulker box, or banner in hand. Each wash reduces the water in the cauldron by one level. The water does not become dyed while removing dye from objects.

Extinguishing fire

A cauldron with water or powder snow extinguishes entities on fire that fall into it. This includes mobs, players, items (if they land in the cauldron before burning up), and flaming arrows‌[JE only]. Flaming arrows stuck into the side are also extinguished. Entities must reach the water or powder snow in it. Each entity extinguished causes the water or powder snow in the cauldron to decrease by one level.

Redstone component

File:Cauldron transmission over piston.png
An example of a cauldron used in a redstone circuit.
See also: Redstone circuit

A cauldron can act as a power source for a redstone comparator. With a cauldron behind it (either directly, or separated by an unpowered solid block), a comparator outputs a signal strength proportional to how full the cauldron is: 0 for empty, 1 for one-third full or filled with lava‌[upcoming: JE 1.17], 2 for two-thirds full, and 3 for completely full. However, if there is a block between the cauldron and the comparator, the comparator does not immediately update.

As a profession block

If a village has a cauldron that has not been claimed by a villager, any villager that does not already have a profession or job site block may change their profession to leatherworker.

32px Cauldrons are intended to be used for the creation of potions.
Cauldrons can be made to work with a mod, through which the following has been revealed:
  • Applying a potion ingredient to a water cauldron cause it to change to a differently-colored lava texture, and adding any further potion ingredients to the filled cauldron cause the liquid to change color.
  • Scooping out a potion with ingredients applied cause the potion to have an effect related to the ingredient, e.g. a potion brewed with a magma cream have Fire Resistance as an effect.
Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3The system was deemed too complex and not user-friendly,[10] so the cauldron's ability to brew potions has been replaced with the brewing stand.[11][12] That brewing system is finalized and doesn't change in the rest of the pre-releases.

Trivia

  • Arrows "stick" to the water in a cauldron.
  • The inside of a cauldron is 0.25 (1⁄4) blocks tall.
  • A cauldron holding water is the only way to have water in the Nether without the use of commands.
  • The player can still 'use' the cauldron without a bottle or water bucket. However, it has no effect on the cauldron or the player.
