Bedrock Cauldrons
by LaGz
Bedrock Cauldrons changes how cauldrons hold and use potions, following the behavior of Minecraft Bedrock Edition, for Forge and NeoForge on 1.20.1.
What it does
Cauldrons take splash and lingering potions as well as regular ones, and water in them can be tinted with dye. Interacting with arrows dips them into the stored potion, producing tipped arrows: one level yields up to 16 arrows, two levels up to 32, and a full cauldron up to one full stack. Mixing potions of different types loses the potion in the process, so each cauldron keeps to a single type.
Swamp huts can generate cauldrons holding one or two levels of a random potion that survival players can brew. Effect particles and potion ambient particles appear while a cauldron is filled. The mod is aimed at worlds that want Bedrock-style cauldron behavior on Java Edition. The server and every player need the mod installed. Forge and NeoForge builds exist for 1.20.1 only, and the code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
