Cauldron Overview

The Cauldron is 1 of the 13 job site blocks Villagers use to work. A Villager who works with Cauldron is called Leatherworker.

Cauldron generates naturally inside the Witch Hut, Igloo’s chamber room, Woodland Mansion, and Village Tannery.

The Cauldron is an item that players can use as a container (mostly for liquid). Depending on Minecraft Edition player using, Cauldron can be used to:

• In Minecraft Java Edition

In Minecraft Java Edition, Cauldron can be used to hold Water, Lava, and Snow Powder. 

When Cauldron holds Water, it can be used to remove Dye color from Dyed-Shulker Boxes, remove a Pattern from a Banner, and Dyed-Leather Armor. 

• In Minecraft Bedrock

In Bedrock, Cauldron shares the same purpose, just like in Minecraft Java Edition. But there are some differences:

1. Players can give color to the water inside the Cauldron using a Dye. Players can also add another Dye to combine the colors.
2. The colored water then can be used to coloring the Leather Armor.
3. Players can store one type of Potion in Cauldron.
4. Players can make Tipped Arrows using Potion inside the Cauldron.

The Water inside the Cauldron can be picked up using an Empty Bottle (3×) or using an Empty Bucket. Lava can also be picked by an Empty Bucket.

If the Cauldron is placed outside during rain or snowfall, Cauldron will collect Water or Snow Powder.

A Cauldron can be placed inside the Nether while holding Water too.

How to Craft a Cauldron

To craft a Cauldron, you need 7 Iron Ingots. Arrange the Iron Ingots like the U letter.

Cauldron Usage

Below are the tutorials on how to use Cauldron. Depending on the usage and Minecraft Edition. 

1. Removing Color from Dyed-Leather Armor, Dyed-Shulker Boxes, or a Pattern from Banner (Bedrock & Java)

Removing Color from Dyed-Leather Armor, Banner with Pattern, and Dyed-Shulker Box.

1. Fill the Cauldron with Water 

To do this, click the Cauldron either with a Water Bucket or 3 Water Bottles.

Note: If you use Watter Bottles, you don’t need the Water to be at full to remove the color or a Pattern. But less amount of Water means fewer items to clean.

2. Prepare What Item You Want to Clean

After there is Water inside the Cauldron, you can start using it by clicking the Cauldron while holding the item.

Notes: 

1. Every time you use Cauldron to remove color or a Pattern, it decreases the Water level by 1.

2. A full Cauldron filled with Water is capable of cleaning 6 Items for Bedrock and 3 Items for Java. 

3. In Bedrock, colored Water can be used to remove a Pattern from a Banner.

2. How to Use Cauldron to Dye Leather Armor (Bedrock Only)

Dye Leather Armor using Cauldron.

1. Fill The Cauldron with Water

Click the Cauldron either with a Water Bucket or 3 Water Bottles.

Note: Once again, if you use Watter Bottles, you don’t need the Water to be at full to color Leather Armor But less amount of Water means fewer items to color.

2. Click the Cauldron while holding the Dye

Click the Cauldron using Dye, any Dye you want. Then, the color of the Water will change based on your Dye’s color.

3. Click the Colored Water while holding Leather Armor

Use either Leather Cap, Tunic, Pants, or Boots. Then, click the colored Water. 

Notes:

1. Coloring Armor only works with Leather Armor (including Leather Horse Armor).
2. You can Dye Leather Armor 6 times (at the full level of Water).
3. Albeit it may seem possible, you can’t Dye Shulker Boxes. You can do it only through crafting.

3. How to Make Tipped Arrow using Cauldron (Bedrock Only)

Make Tipped Arrows using Cauldron.

1. Fill the Cauldron with a Potion

Your Potion effect will later reflect what Tipped Arrow you get. To do this, click the Cauldron while holding the Potion. 3 Potions can make a full Cauldron.

2. Click the Cauldron while holding the Arrow.

You can either put it one by one Arrow or a full-stack of 64 Arrows at once. A full-stack at once is undoubtedly the best option.

Notes: 

1. If you make Tipped Arrow one by one, you can only do it 4 times (at the full level of Potion). Then, you have to re-fill the Cauldron again.
2. To make Tipped Arrow for a full-stack 64 Arrows, the Cauldron must be at the full level of Potion.
