Cauldron (Better With Mods)



The Cauldron is a functional block added by Better With Mods. It is used as a bulk cooking device that can cook large amounts of food at once. It is also used as a crafting method for creating many other blocks and items throughout the mod. It serves as a normal Chest, with 27 inventory slots, unless a flame is beneath it. Additional fires (up to a 3x3 area) beneath the Cauldron will increase its speed in cooking recipes as well as others, this also applies to Stoked Fires. When Mechanical Power is supplied to the Cauldron, it will tip left to whichever way the axle is powering from. The Cauldron will then dump out all of it's contents into the block it is facing. Cauldrons are genearlly paired with Hibachis underneath the fires for both longer fires and the ability to make Stoked Fires.

Other mods such as Better With Addons add their own recipes to the Cauldron, providing it with extra functionality.

To avoid overlap with vanilla Minecraft, the vanilla Cauldron has been renamed to "Cistern".

Usage
To fire a Cauldron, light a fire beneath it. Logs will often be used early game for longer fires before the player has reached The Nether. The same method applies for Stoked Fires however they must be lit on a Hibachi.

Cauldrons have different recipe sets depending on what kind of flame is underneath them. These include the normal Fire, as well as the Stoked Fire, which requires a much more complex setup. Here are some of the main features of both types of Fires:

Normal Fire (Unstoked Cauldron)

 * Used in the creation of all types of Food.
 * Used for Tanning Leather.
 * Used to make Bloodwood Saplings, which lead to Bloodwood Trees.
 * Used to make a variety of materials and items, such as: Gunpowder, Fertilizer, and Nether Growth Spores.

Stoked Fire (Stoked Cauldron)

 * Used in the creation of Glue from Leather products.
 * Used to create other items such as Soap, Tallow, and Potash.
