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).

Cauldron Crafting

Slime Blocks, Honey Blocks, and Magma Blocks should all be crafted by dropping 4 of each item into a cauldron rather than formed in a crafting table. This adds additional functionality to the cauldron similar to a workstation block. Creating slime, honey, and magma blocks in a cauldron also makes more physical sense than in a crafting table.

Going a step further, allowing 'crafted' blocks in the cauldron to be removed by a hopper would allow for the automation of slime, honey, and magma block production.

    Because bottles are unstackable, it can be really hard to craft a bunch of honey at once. If using the cauldron to craft it could make this faster, that would be great!

    I think it would cost less items than crafting table's to make such blocks by cauldron.

    Witches could have an animation similar to Evokers that causes slime cauldrons to create actual Slimes

    How about instead of dropping you just right click? That would create layers and make crafting a lot faster.

    It would also open up more building possibilities.

    I really like your idea. And would add soups and stews to the cauldron recipes. Cooked over a campfire or open flame. Milk and mushrooms to make cream of mushroom soup. Carrots, beets, and potatoes to make vegetable soup. As well as all the stews already in game should not be crafted in crafting table. But cooked in the cauldron , because it makes sense to have better foods at your base/camp then on the go.
