Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

A relationship between Cauldrons and Campfires

In the bedrock edition, the player can store potions within a cauldron. Besides aesthetics and witch hut loot, this feature has no other use but doesn't have to be the case. What if when a potion filled cauldron is placed above a lit campfire, the entities in a 5 block radius experience the effect from the potion. The cauldron will empty after time.

Currently, the campfire is simply a lesser furnace. This adds greater functionality to cauldrons and campfire. Maybe the cauldron and campfire should have other relationships. For example, the player adds flowers and mushrooms to the water like they already add dyes. This is a better way of crafting suspicious stew

    I'm not sure about the area of effect potion dispersing. I don't see what use it would have. A beacon (which does something similar) is only useful because of the large radius it has. I do like the idea of combining campfires with cauldrons, though.

    Any use should take into account that cauldrons are made of iron, though, and so are not going to be used before the player has settled down.

    I think the use should be one concerning potions, since I'm in favour of making cauldrons actually useful for making them. What, I don't know, though.

    Perhaps potions would 'condense' when left in a cauldron over a campfire. The longer the potion is left there, the longer it will last?

    What if cauldrons over a fire could be used to evaporate the potion but leave all/some of the potion ingredients behind, sort of like recycling potions? I’m sure many people make mistakes when making a potion and the ability to reverse a potion might be good.

    Maybe they could replace making stews and soups with crafting tables and use campfires and cauldrons instead.

    Heating the cauldrons may cause the potion to bubble over and/or create a lingering cloud. At the very least, this could be used for decoration. Imagine having this in a cemetery with the cauldrons creating a sort of fog.
