This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a cauldron with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a cauldron is an important brewing item in your inventory.

Let’s explore how to make a cauldron.

Where to find a Cauldron in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find a cauldron in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform Version(s) Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8 – 1.19
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3 – 1.20
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3 – 1.20
  • Platform is the platform that applies.
  • Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).

Required Materials to make a Cauldron

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a cauldron:

7 Iron Ingots

How to craft a Cauldron in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make a Cauldron

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a cauldron, place 7 iron ingots in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a cauldron, it is important that the iron ingots are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the second row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 iron ingots. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a cauldron.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the cauldron will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Cauldron to Inventory

Once you have crafted cauldron, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a cauldron in Minecraft!
