Ability to build & craft breaks if a Cauldron breaks while interacting with it

[TehJumpingJawa]

On two occasions I've had a Cauldron spontaneously exploding into components while I was standing still next to it & crafting food items with it. (perhaps the stirring animation results in a hit box collision?)

This in & of itself would only be a minor bug, however when this glitch occurs, it appears the Cauldron is not the only thing to break; the entire crafting interface begins to malfunction, and prevents crafting or building of any kind.
Presumably the destruction of the Cauldron while it's being interacted with leaves the UI in an intended state.

To fix this bug the game has to be restarted.

I've only encountered this issue in Single Player, though I imagine it'll be much easier to reproduce in MP (and possibly more serious if it breaks the server?!?)

None of my 9 players and I have encountered this issue on our dedicated server. I also have never encountered this playing single player and 2 player co-op.

Can you post a screenshot of the crafting interface malfunctioning?

Actually, are you using any mods?

[TehJumpingJawa]

I am using a couple of mods, though only one related to the crafting UI (craft all).

Next time I encounter it I'll make a video of the behaviour.

What happens when you stop using the crafting UI (craft all)?

I have had the cauldron breaking bug multiple times, but the rest of crafting seems ok. Still very annoying and needs to be addressed ASAP

Never had this and this is the first time hearing of this. I would remove the mod and try without it. If it still happens then this should be reported on the official bugs reporting site.

Right now, this seems to be a mod issue.

I've experienced that as well in my singleplayer world, a couple of times, no mods ever. I thought it might have happened because I stepped on something and it counted as damage. The fire under the cauldron was destroyed as well.

[electricdawn]

That is very strange. I never had that happen to me. Not much I can help with, I'm afraid.

[Pantstron]

Would that mean this bug could happen when any crafting station is destroyed/dismantled while using it? or is it only the cauldron?

[Nefrarya]

I can't vouch for this being the same thing that OP experienced, but I deliberately tried mine again.

It seems to happen when I stand too close / on one of the cauldron legs. 10 damage tick down until the cauldron and the campfire (on stone floor) are destroyed. While this is happening, I can keep crafting. On destruction, the menu closes. After I rebuild fire and cauldron, on the first try the menu doesn't recognize my available ingredients by highlighting the corresponding dish, but I can still craft it. After that, it's highlighted again, but the menu focus is on the middle of the list, not the top. After closing the menu and opening it again, it seems fine.
