Cauldron Overhaul
Revitalize the cauldron with new fluids, mixing & brewing mechanics, and exciting items!
This mod brings new life into Minecraft's cauldron by expanding its functionality far beyond water, lava, and powder snow. Now, you can fill cauldrons with honey, slime, and even potions! Potions poured into a cauldron will automatically mix, creating a powerful new Mixed Potion with combined effects.
New Items
- Slime Bucket: Scoop up slime blocks or fill cauldrons with gooey slime.
- Honey Bucket: Harvest and store honey for cauldron use.
- Slime Bottle: Transports slime around. (More to come)
- Lava Bottle: Transports bits of lava around. (More to come)
- Milk Bottle: Stores milk for cauldron use, can be obtained by milking a cow. It can also be used to grow baby cows.
Key Features
- Fill cauldrons with honey, slime, milk, or potions alongside existing fluids.
- Potion Mixing: Combine multiple potions in a cauldron to brew a unique Mixed Potion—experiment with effects for custom brews!
- Interact with cauldrons using the new buckets and bottles for seamless fluid management.
- Cauldron Brewing: You can brew potions within cauldrons. Place a campfire below to heat it up and drop the desired ingredients into the cauldron. Using the shift-key, you can see what's in your cauldron.
More Features
- Dispensable Sticky Blocks: As there are now Slime and Honey Buckets, you use them with Dispensers to place and break them. I think this could be useful in some redstone contraptions. (Feel free to send me screenshots / videos of your creations, to use on the mod page)
- Milk Cauldrons: The same way you get effects from brewing cauldrons by entering them, you can also get the effects removed by entering a milk cauldron. This could be useful for removing bad effects very quickly. (Or even protecting yourself from bad effects by standing in a cauldron, for example, while fighting wither skeletons)
- Lava Cauldron Levels: Vanilla somehow is very inconsistent with lava cauldrons. They are the only cauldrons that don't have levels.
Planned Features
- Expanded Bottle Uses: More ways to utilize slime and lava bottles in crafting and mechanics.
- Honey Milk: A new type of milk that allows you to remove only bad effects.
- Mixed Potion Names: Currently, you always get a "Mixed Potion" I want to add unique names based on some useful mixtures. (For example: Strength + Regeneration = Potion of Combat; Strength + Night Vision = Potion of the Dungeon Crawler; and so on)
This mod is in active development—expect more fluid interactions, recipes, and surprises ahead!
I'm open to suggestions and ideas, both for content and assets (textures, sounds, and so on). Let me know what you'd like to see!
