Bedrock Edition players have long enjoyed the ability to store potions inside cauldrons, but Java Edition never received this feature — until now. Potion Cauldron Mod by Maxoduke brings this beloved mechanic to Java, letting you fill cauldrons with up to three bottles of the same potion type. The cauldron even takes on the color of the stored potion, making it a practical storage solution and a surprisingly useful decorative block for potion rooms and witch huts alike.
Key Features
- Cauldron potion storage — Right-click a cauldron with a potion bottle to pour it in. Each cauldron holds up to three bottles of the same potion type, matching the Bedrock Edition behavior.
- Visual potion color — Filled cauldrons display the actual color of the stored potion, so you can tell at a glance what's inside without opening any menus.
- Tipped arrow crafting — Right-click a potion-filled cauldron with arrows to convert them into tipped arrows, giving you a convenient alternative to the brewing stand method.
- Natural generation — Potion cauldrons may generate naturally in swamp huts, adding a lore-friendly touch to world exploration.

FAQ
Can you mix different potions in one cauldron?

Does Potion Cauldron Mod work with both Forge and Fabric?
Yes, the mod supports Forge, Fabric, and Quilt across most supported Minecraft versions. Fabric and Quilt users will also need the Fabric API installed.
Can you find potion-filled cauldrons naturally in the world?
Yes, potion cauldrons may generate naturally inside swamp huts, similar to how they appear in Bedrock Edition.
