CauldronHUD
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
Look at a cauldron and a small HUD shows what it holds and how full it is (Water/Lava/Powder Snow, level 0-3).
⬇ Download on ModrinthCauldronHUD is a clean look-at info layer. Point your crosshair at any cauldron and a small readout appears in the top-left of your screen telling you exactly what it holds and how full it is:
- Empty — a plain cauldron, nothing inside
- Water 1–3 / 3 — a water cauldron and its current fill level
- Powder Snow 1–3 / 3 — a powder snow cauldron and its level
- Lava (full) — a lava cauldron
Why
Vanilla only hints at a cauldron's contents through a small texture change inside the block, and the exact fill level is hard to read at a glance — especially from a distance or across a row of cauldrons. CauldronHUD puts the precise content and level on screen so you always know whether a dyeing/leather-washing station, a powder snow trap, or a water/lava store is ready to use, without dipping a bucket or walking right up to it.
