How do you get Cauldron in Minecraft?

Cauldron is crafted from Iron Ingot at a Crafting Table, in a single step. It also comes from natural world generation, not just the recipe above.

When was Cauldron added to Minecraft?

Cauldron was added in version Beta 1.9.

How long does Cauldron take to break?

For Cauldron the game keeps hardness at 2, and it holds blast resistance 2. Nothing separates the two figures on Cauldron, so there is no explosive trick around it. The game files it under a pickaxe, without a minimum tier attached to Cauldron. Java 26.2 keeps Cauldron on file as printed, which is what it shows here.

How many Cauldron can you stack?

448 Iron Ingot is what 64 Cauldron costs, so filling a single slot is 64 crafts. A double chest of Cauldron comes to 3,456, spread over 54 slots.

Building with it

Seven iron ingots make a cauldron, which is a lot of iron for a bucket-sized job, but it does things a bucket cannot: it holds water in the Nether, washes dye off leather and banners, fills bottles, and collects rain or dripstone water for an infinite slow supply.
