Expert Mode Cauldrons

Expert Mode Cauldrons brings both aesthetics and functionality to the minecraft cauldrons. Witches have been known to brew all sorts of magical and whimsical concoctions, and now you can too!

Boiling
Cauldrons can be placed on top of sources of heat, and filled with water to provide a boiling effect. From a kitchen stove to a witch's den, this subtle difference can liven up any build. Cauldrons placed over fire blocks or lava cannot be used for brewing.



Brewing
However, this building block now has an entire crafting system associated with it... Introducing brewing! As well as incorporating new mechanics, it gives players a form of early game potion making, renewable sources of water in the nether, a cooking system, and more uses for items such as the bowl.

Once a pot is boiling, you can ingredients, one at a time, to build up a stew. Stews contain up to three ingredients, and will spill over if more than three items are added. Likewise, adding an item that is not an ingredient will also cause the cauldron to spill over. The benefit of brewing stews for food, opposed to simply crafting them, is the total higher yield of the stews.

Current stews:


 * Mushroom Stew, from red and brown mushrooms.
 * Rabbit Stew, from raw rabbit, carrots, and potatoes.
 * Beetroot Stew, from beetroot.
 * Dolphin Stew, from kelp, scute, and ink sacs.
 * Spectral Stew, from feathers, ender pearls, and phantom membranes.

Once your stew is ready, purple mist will rise from the pot. Using a bowl, approach the cauldron and scoop out a portion of the stew. Cauldrons hold a total of 3 servings per brew process.



If you find yourself in the Nether, let it be by choice or otherwise, cauldrons are now imminent to your continued survival if you are also using the Thirst System. Throwing magma cream into a cauldron will result in one bottle of water.
