Cooking Bug

[MiningPikachu]

This happened with me with fire for a long time, and I just dealt with it, but this time I was using a cauldron, so this made me go straight to the forums.

What happens for me on both the default client and ender's client whenever i want to cook, I have to build a new cooking source and not move at all for me to be able to cook. Otherwise it just says "You need a (x) to craft this item." I was able to deal with this early on, because fires only cost five branches, and I live in a forest, so no problems there. But with a cauldron, I am not building a new one just to make simple crap. I need this problem fixed somehow, and yes, I do have it filled with water, and yes, I have plenty of branches to fuel the fire, and yes again, I am standing so close to the darn cauldron I could catch it if it was a rabbit. I tried this with both ender's client and the default, and this bug was present in both. I really want this problem fixed soon, because it just gets annoying even just with fires. Thank you in advance for your help.

Right click on the cauldron/fire and then try cooking.

Yes you must click on the cauldron to cook and you must stay there all during your cooking else it will close the cooking action, because you are performing anew action. It is not a bug it is the game. If you don't tend your cauldron then you can't add things or cook. So stay put once you start and make sure you have whatever items you need in your inventory.

Fires don't need five branches every time you cook. You can add one at a time but adding more extends the duration of your cooking time.

I hope this helps.
