Acidglow's Cauldron Pipes

Turn vanilla cauldrons into automation-ready fluid containers.

Acidglow's Cauldron Pipes upgrades vanilla cauldrons with proper fluid storage and NeoForge fluid support, allowing them to interact with pipes, automation systems, and other mods that support fluid handlers.

No complicated new machines and no replacement cauldrons — just the vanilla cauldron, made more useful.

✨ Features

• Vanilla cauldron integration — Uses the existing Minecraft cauldron
• NeoForge fluid support — Cauldrons expose standard fluid capabilities
• Pipe compatible — Connect compatible fluid pipes directly to cauldrons
• Automation ready — Fill and drain cauldrons automatically
• Partial fluid storage — Store exact fluid amounts instead of only vanilla empty/full states
• Persistent contents — Stored fluid amounts are saved and loaded correctly
• Vanilla state synchronization — Cauldron block states stay synchronized with their contents
• Visual fluid levels — See the amount of stored fluid directly inside the cauldron
• Dynamic lava rendering — Lava levels visually adjust based on the amount stored
• Lightweight design — Adds useful functionality without introducing unnecessary machines or interfaces

🔧 How It Works

Vanilla cauldrons normally use a small number of fixed block states to represent their contents.

Acidglow's Cauldron Pipes adds an internal fluid tank behind the vanilla cauldron, allowing it to store and transfer fluid using the NeoForge fluid system.

This means compatible pipes and automation mods can interact with cauldrons just like other fluid containers.

Connect it. Fill it. Drain it. Automate it.

💧 Fluid Storage

Cauldrons can store partial amounts of fluid instead of being limited to Minecraft's normal empty, partially filled, or full states.

The exact amount of fluid is preserved and the visible cauldron level stays synchronized with its stored contents.

Tested Fluids

• Water
• Lava

Other fluids may also work when they are compatible with the standard NeoForge fluid system.

⚙️ Automation

Cauldrons expose NeoForge fluid capabilities, allowing compatible mods to insert or extract fluids automatically.

This makes them useful as simple fluid buffers, collection points, decorative storage, or parts of larger automated systems.

They work especially well with fluid transport mods such as Pipez and other mods that support standard fluid handlers.

🌋 Visual Feedback

Stored fluids remain visible inside the cauldron.

Lava levels are rendered dynamically based on the amount currently stored, making it easy to see at a glance how full the cauldron is.

The result keeps the familiar vanilla appearance while adding proper fluid handling behind the scenes.
