    Brief Description: Cauldrons placed in areas where they should fill with powder snow do not fill, even after observing the weather snowing several times, and leaving an account AFK with them overnight.

    Instructions: Place empty cauldrons anywhere it snows when the weather changes to rain, wait for them to fill up.

    How many times did you recreate this?: At least 5 separate tests lasting hours each over the course of several days.

    Result: Cauldrons did not accumulate powder snow.

    Expected Result: Cauldrons fill with powder snow. In a singleplayer world, this happens for me within a few minutes.

    Evidence: I haven't taken any screenshot or video evidence of this as it would be an extremely long video to prove that these aren't filling even after long amounts of time.

    Edit: I also tried to accumulate rainwater into a cauldron, which did not work either. Cauldrons seem to not be picking up anything from the environment.

    I've managed to get it tested in the mining world on main in a snowy biome, wasn't able to collect any powder snow, the cauldrons remained empty.

    If I am to add some information, I stood by 50+ cauldrons in the rising world in a biome that snows for over 12 irl hours with nothing being filled.

    Don’t know if this’ll help or not, but I’m stating this to show it doesn’t seem to be an issue of not enough cauldrons or time.
