Cauldron Mud
by derexXD
Cauldron Mud makes a dirt cauldron turn into mud when water is poured in, a change that brings a vanilla-style tweak to survival play.
What it does
Pouring water into a cauldron set on dirt, coarse dirt or rooted dirt converts the block into mud, following the same idea as the Vanilla Tweaks datapack that inspired the project. A plugin build exists for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur servers, and it is described as more efficient than the mod. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 34 release versions, 1.17 – 26.3, and is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Mud from dirt cauldrons

Plugin version
A plugin-based build covers Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur servers for owners who prefer that approach.
