FAQ
What tool do I need to mine a cauldron?
A wooden pickaxe or better. Mining it with anything weaker destroys it without dropping the cauldron, and any liquid inside is always lost.
Can a cauldron freeze the water inside it?
No, water held in a cauldron never freezes, even in cold or snowy biomes.
How does a cauldron fill with rain?
During rainfall, a cauldron slowly fills with water at roughly 5% of the rate that snow layers accumulate.
Can sponges soak up water from a cauldron?
No, sponges cannot remove water stored in a cauldron.
