SuperCauldrons
SuperCauldrons is an extremely simple plugin I created to solve two problems:
- Unlimited water sources have to be created with what really just amounts to an abuse of the engine's water physics.
- Cauldrons are basically useless, as they're just a development leftover from potion brewing before it was replaced with the Brewing Stand.
SuperCauldrons (IMHO) solves both these problems by making Cauldrons infinite water sources. Just pour water into the cauldron, and you have an unlimited source of water for both buckets and bottles.
Features
- Cauldrons are infinite water sources once filled with water.
- You can fill multiple stacked empty bottles at once with water. As filled bottles don't stack, any excess bottles will be dropped on the ground.
- Water flowing over the top of a cauldron will fill the cauldron.
- Redstone power applied to a cauldron with water will eject the water out of the top. When unpowered, the water will go back into the cauldron.

Changelog
Version 1.2.4
- "Semi-infinite" mode added that lets Cauldrons now act like regular water source blocks (infinite bottles, non-infinite buckets).
Version 1.2.3
- Fixed extra stacked buckets being deleted when you filled them from a Cauldron.
Version 1.2.2
- Removed all deprecated Bukkit code (so it is now safe for 1.1-R5!)
Version 1.2.1
- Fixed massive bug introduced in 1.2.0 that allowed for infinite glass bottles to be filled from a cauldron. Sorry!!
Version 1.2.0
- Added configuration (enable/disable the infinite water, redstone, and waterflow-filling features individually).
- Added /screload command to reload config (permission supercauldrons.reload).
- Changed bottle-filling behavior - right-clicking with a stack of bottles fills one at a time, and stops working when your inventory is full.
- Updated for Bukkit for Minecraft 1.1.
Version 1.1.0
- Added water-flow filling.
- Added redstone support.
Version 1.0.0
- Initial release.

Don't work for 1.11.2.
Please update, update!
With 1.7, extinguishing an entity via a cauldron causes it to lose water. Could you add an option to prevent this? (Keep the cauldron full, but still extinguish the entity.)
yay you finally updated
SuperCauldrons 1.2.3 works on CraftBukkit 1.5.1-R0.2. Tested on a Windows 7 (64-bit) PC with Java 1.7u15
Thanks, LHammonds
Hi,
there's no need for an update. It works without any problems on CB 1.5.1.
Someone update this plugin to 1.5!
I would love to use this on my server if anyone ever updates it :D seems like a great, useful plugin
doesn't seems to work with 1.4.6 :(
PLEASE UPDATE I NEED THIS
Is the plugin compatible with 1.4.4? (excellent plugin btw, used it since 1.2.5!)
SuperCauldrons 1.2.2 works on CraftBukkit 1.3.2-R0.1. Tested on a Windows 7 (64-bit) PC with Java 1.7u7
Thanks, LHammonds
SuperCauldrons 1.2.2 works on CraftBukkit 1.3.1-R1.0
Initial load creates the default config file with no errors. Second load of the server and the plugin continues to load without error. Created a cauldron, filled it with water and was able to fill a bucket without the cauldron going empty.
Thanks, LHammonds
For the record, while I'm on vacation right now and won't be able to check if SuperCauldrons works on Minecraft 1.3.1 yet, I don't foresee any issues as I'm pretty sure there hasn't been any breaking API changes in regard to what this plugin does.
@g_BonE
This is a feature I've intended to add for a while. Next time I make an update for SuperCauldrons I'll add that in as a feature.
nice plugin, would be even more useful if it could be powered by redstone one block UNDER the cauldron to make switchable fountains... thanks anyway ;)
I have had SuperCauldrons 1.2.2 installed on my CraftBukkit 1.1-R4 server for quite a while.
I upgraded to CraftBukkit 1.2.3-R0.1 and SuperCauldrons 1.2.2 still worked perfectly.
I again upgraded CraftBukkit to 1.2.4-R1.0 and still SuperCauldrons 1.2.2 works like a champ.
I again upgraded CraftBukkit to 1.2.5-R1.0 and still SuperCauldrons 1.2.2 works like a champ.
Thanks, LHammonds
Is this compatible with 1.2.4?
So I'm guessing you can't make the Cauldron have lava or milk at all unless we use a client mod or something more special?
That's sad, I wish Notch cared more about this.
@ZachHinchy
many thx :)
@RaesWolf
It can be configured to where it's not always unlimited. The other stuff is not possible with Bukkit..
id consider adding this if:
1: u could add lava as well as water 2: it can be configured to where its not always unlimited. 3: U can add other things like soup and milk :)
just some things i wish i had atm :)
