Overview
Cauldron is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it and natural world generation. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Cauldron.
Cauldron has a hardness of 2. Its blast resistance repeats that 2, so Cauldron offers no shelter. The game files it under a pickaxe, without a minimum tier attached to Cauldron.
