Cauldron Brewing
by Fire_Ball_MC
Cauldron Brewing lets players brew potions in a cauldron placed over a heat source, as an alternative to the brewing stand.
What it does
The mod is a datapack that allows potions to be brewed in a cauldron instead of a brewing stand. A cauldron is set over a fire, campfire or magma block, ingredients are dropped into the water, and a glass bottle held in hand reveals what the cauldron holds before it is filled with the finished potion. It is published for Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.6 only, for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, and requires the server to run it. Clients may skip it, and the license is MIT License, which does not make it open source.
