How to Make and Use Ice and Snow Cauldrons

Freezing Water into Ice

An Ice Cauldron turns water into ice when conditions are cold enough. The cauldron handles the freezing for you, which is far easier than hunting for natural ice.

Melting Snow and Managing Snow

A Snow Cauldron works the other way, dealing with snow accumulation. Use it in areas where snow builds up and you want to clear or process it. Both cauldrons are season-sensitive: they only do their job when the surrounding temperature supports it, so a Snow Cauldron won't help much in summer and an Ice Cauldron won't freeze anything in a heatwave.

Tools That Pair With Them

The Ice Wand and Salt Wand are the handheld tools for working with frozen and snowy terrain. Use the Ice Wand when you need to place or manipulate ice directly, and the Salt Wand for melting or clearing snow and ice. A Broom is handy for sweeping away snow buildup around your base. If you want to keep an area permanently free of snow, look into the Snowless Homeland, which suppresses snow in its range. Combine these: let the cauldrons do the bulk conversion, then use the wands and broom for touch-ups.
