Enchanted Cauldron Fix
by ImEden6
Enchanted Cauldron Fix corrects a heating desync in the Enchanted: Witchcraft cauldron, so a refilled cauldron starts heating again after a completed recipe.
What it does
After a recipe finishes in a heated cauldron, a refill can leave it idle, and it never boils again. Before this fix, the usual workaround was to add a fourth bucket of water so the block state changed. Enchanted Cauldron Fix targets the heating logic directly, so refilling with three buckets is enough and the cauldron resumes cooking without a rebuild.
The mod is a small, focused change, and it does not replace or remove the cauldron. Enchanted: Witchcraft must be installed alongside it, and Fabric API is needed on Fabric. The mod is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
The code is open source under the MIT License. The only published build is version 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2026-08-20, which is also the date of the first publication and the last update.

What the author says
A tiny, focused fix for cauldron heating in Enchanted: Witchcraft. The only workarounds were adding a 4th bucket (which nudges the blockstate even though the cauldron is already full) or breaking and replacing the cauldron entirely.
