Usage

A copper cauldron can be filled with water by using a water bucket on the copper cauldron. Once completely filled, a copper cauldron can be used to fill a water bucket by using an empty bucket on the copper cauldron; this empties the copper cauldron. Despite containing water, using a fish bucket on a copper cauldron does not fill it with water, but places water against it, meaning it does nothing to the copper cauldron.

A copper cauldron can contain three levels of water. One level of water can be added to a copper cauldron by using a water bottle on it. One level of water can be removed from a copper cauldron, filling a water bottle, by using a glass bottle on it.

A copper cauldron slowly fills with water when rained upon, if starting empty or with some water. This happens randomly, at 5% of the rate in which snow accumulates on the ground during snowfall.

Water can be stored in a copper cauldron, even in the Nether. Water in a copper cauldron does not freeze in cold biomes.

A copper cauldron placed below a down-facing pointed dripstone that has water placed a block above it slowly fills with water. The same works with lava, allowing for infinite lava generation. The pointed dripstone must be within 10 blocks above the copper cauldron.

The same mechanic for water applies to purified water.
