About this Mod
This is a Fabric mod for 1.17 and above!
Works for both singelplayer and servers. Clients don't need this mod when playing on a server.
Now you can finally fully automate that dripstone lava farm! :)


Overview:
- Lets dispensers fill empty cauldrons with water, lava or powdered snow from buckets
- Fill bucket if cauldron is full (Water/Lava/Powdered Snow)
- Fill empty/water cauldrons with water bottles (Increases level by 1)
- Fill glass bottles with water from cauldrons (Decrements level by 1)
- If these actions can't be completed (Already empty or full), it will spit the item out instead
