Issues cloning items
trying to clone items with the cauldron but having trouble. I have the item in the cauldron's left slot and I have obsidian in my inventory but whenever I activate the cauldron I just get a message saying "The air is not enough to make anything." or something like that.

Now you need to put the item you want to clone in the middle, and put obsidian in the left, or right, the cauldron will save that obsidian as energy to clone your middle item. The energy will maintain in the cauldron until you exit the game. If the cauldron still has energy, you can just put an item in the middle without putting obsidian.

If you click the "question mark" to see the recipe, you can find the slot color is different for different recipes. The item you need to put in the middle slot will show as the "red slot". The left or right is a brown slot.

Thank you

@Korate, possibly what confuses people is that at the ingame guide the item you want to clone is left and the Obsidian right:

[x?] - [?] + [xO]

So they may be putting the obsidian in the middle going from left to right:

[?] + [O] + [_]

It is not depend on the order in UI but the slot color actually : )

I try to make this clear to players, so I even make the middle slot larger....

Yes, I realised this one. Though I tried to give a player-perspective on why people may still make a mistake.

I hope my messages don't come across as offensive. I'm really loving your mod and am trying to help. ^^
