A kettle is a water container used in cooking.

Usage

Water storage

A kettle can be filled with water from a water source, producing a kettle of water. To fill a kettle: Right-click on a water source and "Refill Kettle". It can hold the equivalent of almost 14 mugs of water. It is an alternative storage space for water to water bottles, and is automatically drunk by the player to satiate thirst. However, kettles are significantly heavier than standard water bottles. It can be used to water plants while farming.

A kettle can be used to purify tainted water, which is dirty water gained from unsanitary sources; such as a lake or rain. This is done by putting the kettle with tainted water over a heat source.

Cooking

The full kettle used to be used to craft a hot cuppa or cold cuppa, however it is no longer used in cooking.
