    The armour and bucket of water are located in the tab that looks like a sword, the cauldron is located in the tab that looks like a bookshelf, and the dye is located in the tab that looks like seeds.

    Cauldrons can be destroyed or reused once you are done, and you can have more than one at the same time. You could create an infinite water source if you live in a 'Taiga Forest' or 'Dense Taiga' forest because the rain level is high unlike in deserts, the rain level is low.

    The cauldron should fill up with water. If not, try again and see what happens. If you want a eco friendly but harder option you can dig a hole to direct sky and wait for it to rain. Rain will fill up cauldrons. Be careful not to stand near the cauldron; (1 block) as the rain will land on you not the cauldron in order to fill it.

    The contents of the cauldron should change to the colour of your selected dye.

    The piece of armour should change to the colour of your dye. Repeat with the rest of the items.

    No, you simply tap the cauldron, and the more water you use up, the brighter the resulting color will be. There is enough water for four taps.

    How do I take it out?
    Community Answer
    Armor should never go into the cauldron. If it does, jump into the cauldron and you will pick up the item.

      Tips

      • If you make a mistake just refill the cauldron with water and choose a different dye.
        Thanks
      • Get creative go with a bright and bold colour because you can mix up to sixteen shades of a colour in a cauldron resulting in an abundance of choices; you don't always have to have a bold colour - go ahead and get a mixed colour.
        Thanks
      • If you don't know what to pick choose a colour that will complement your Minecraft skin.
        Thanks
