In Rust, Cursed Cauldron is a fun and decoration in the Misc category (item ID #1242522330, console shortname cursedcauldron). In active play, it follows standard server rules for fun and decoration gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.

Crafting Cursed Cauldron in Rust takes 15 seconds by hand without a workbench, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Placed structures heal with a Hammer using raw materials from your inventory.
The Cursed Cauldron is one of the 84 fun and decoration items; Rust classifies it under the Misc inventory category.
When comparing Cursed Cauldron against related misc in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.
