🧪 Overhaul Cauldron — Bedrock Cauldrons in Java

Overhaul Cauldron is a lightweight, vanilla-friendly mod that bridges one of the oldest parity gaps between Minecraft versions. It brings the unique, intuitive, and highly useful cauldron mechanics from Minecraft Bedrock Edition straight into Java Edition.

Now, cauldrons are no longer just decorative blocks for cleaning leather armor—they are a fully functional tool for survival automation and crafting tipped arrows!

✨ Features

🔮 1. Normal Potions in Cauldrons

You can now pour any regular potion (from a standard drinkable bottle) into a cauldron by right-clicking it.
The cauldron has 3 levels of capacity. Each potion bottle fills it by 1/3. To completely fill the cauldron (to level 3/3), you need 3 bottles of the exact same potion.

🏹 2. Crafting Tipped Arrows

Dip regular arrows into a potion-filled cauldron via right-click to coat them with effects! The number of crafted arrows scales perfectly with the cauldron's fluid level:
- 1/3 full — crafts 21 tipped arrows (empties the cauldron to 0).
- 2/3 full — crafts 42 tipped arrows (empties the cauldron to 0).
- 3/3 full (completely full) — crafts exactly 64 tipped arrows (one full stack), completely emptying the cauldron.

💧 3. Overhaul Cauldron Mechanics

Seamless environment integration. If a Water or Lava source block is flowing or dripping directly above the cauldron, it will gradually fill up with that corresponding fluid from above. This makes it incredibly easy to integrate cauldrons into your vanilla-style automated farms and technical builds.
