How it works

The Marrow Well is a cauldron that drinks the experience of the dying. Wake it, and the ring of gilded blackstone and bone burns away, leaving the cauldron bound. When a creature dies within 8 blocks, the well drinks its experience, up to 1,395 points in all.

Right-click the cauldron with a damaged tool, weapon, or piece of armor. Each stored point of experience mends one point of durability. The Marrow Well mends 120 durability for 120 experience.

Good to know

• The well fills with slime as it fills with experience, so you can see how full it is.
• Breaking the cauldron spills everything it holds.
• When a Soulwell and a Marrow Well both stand near a death, the closer one drinks it.

Tips

Build it beside a mob farm, and your gear stays whole without a single Mending book.
