Oil Cauldrons

You can buy an Oil Cauldron from the lobby shop for LOTR Mod coins.

You can also break already-placed cauldrons to receive the item.

An Oil Cauldron has 3 stages: idle, heating and boiling.

Idle is the stage it's at when you place it down. A small amount of black bubbles will be present.

You can begin heating an idle cauldron by right-clicking it with a lava bucket. Sneaking while doing this will just place the lava, so don't sneak.

While in the heating stage there will be a crackling sound and a large amount of black bubbles.

Heating takes 15 seconds. After this the cauldron is boiling, and fire particles will be present as well as black bubbles.

If you leave the cauldron boiling for a minute, it will become idle again.

To pour the oil, the cauldron must be boiling. Simply right-click it with any lever and it will pour instantly.

Poured oil will instantly kill any player, mob or NPC directly below (in a 1-block diameter), all the way down until a block stops the oil from travelling further.

Explosions will destroy Oil Cauldrons; they will not drop as items.

Standing on top of a cauldron while it is heating or boiling will kill you instantly.

Oil Cauldrons have no durability (they last forever).

Breaking and placing Oil Cauldrons does not override banner protection in official sieges.
