Cauldron Concrete

by derexXD

Cauldron Concrete lets a water cauldron turn concrete powder into concrete when powder is dropped into it.

What it does

Tossing concrete powder into a water cauldron converts it to solid concrete, a change the vanilla game does not make on its own. The change is a cauldron behavior, so it works in survival builds without any new blocks or recipes. The author built it for a multiplayer world and offers it as a lighter alternative to the Vanilla Tweaks datapack, with a plugin version for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur servers.

Cauldron Concrete is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.17 – 26.3, and the latest builds target 1.21.11 and 1.20.6. It is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Powder to concrete

    A water cauldron turns dropped concrete powder into concrete, so builders skip the manual placement step.

  2. Server plugin version

    A plugin build covers Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur servers for owners who want the behavior without a mod.

  3. Datapack alternative

    The mod was inspired by the Vanilla Tweaks datapack and is meant to run more efficiently than that approach.

What the author says

Inspired by Vanilla Tweaks' Cauldron Concrete datapack, this is a more lag efficient plugin based version! Toss in your concrete powder, and watch the magic happen! This was created for use on my forever world, called "derex smp". Check it out in action, server ip: mc.longhorns.dev
