(Bedrock Parity) Java cauldrons should now have special functionalities

Composters are going to become a cheaper yet more effective version of the cauldron for redstoners, allowing redstoners to just replace all cauldrons with composters in their circuits. Although this block cannot be moved as of 19w03a, this has been considered as a bug(MC-142465) and is likely to be fixed.

Now that the cauldron is no longer necessary in redstone circuits, it's safe to assume that there will be no backlash for converting cauldrons into immovable block entities and porting over all the cauldron functionalities from Bedrock Edrition.

Dinnerbone has already stated that complex recipes will be moved out of the crafting table and into specialized mechanics, and if the change to cauldrons happen, it will most likely take the mechanic of dying leather armor and making tipped arrows.

    I don't love the idea of making cauldrons immovable - seems like it'd break a lot of redstone contraptions, even if composters are a viable replacement in most cases - but adding the bedrock functionality to them would definitely be great!

    Lava in cauldron is already available in Java so please dear Mojang we need all three functionality of the cauldrons in Java too. Storing potions in which you can make tipped arrows also color normal water with dyes to dye leather armor! (Also hope the crafting recipe will be removed so that you can need to use the cauldron)
