Assorted Buckets
Assorted Buckets lets players carry water, lava and milk in buckets made from several materials, from wood up to netherite.
What it does
Buckets in this mod hold more than one bucket's worth of a fluid, and the amount depends on the material. A wooden or stone bucket holds one bucket and breaks after one use. A gold bucket holds 4, a diamond bucket 16 and a netherite bucket 64. A gauge under each bucket reflects its contents, and a right click fills or pours a single bucket, so a whole pond can be drained without walking back and forth.
The mod works on Fabric and NeoForge for 26.2, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It depends on Assorted Lib and Fabric API, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Config changes take effect once the game has been relaunched. Older saves from the Assorted Tools line keep their content through a switch, and that companion should stay out of the same folder as Assorted Buckets.
Key features
Buckets for several materials
Wooden, stone, gold, diamond, netherite, copper, emerald and amethyst buckets each have their own capacity and durability.
Fluids beyond water
Water, lava and milk can be carried, and fluids from other mods that work with buckets can be carried too.
Lava-safe materials
Wooden buckets leave lava alone, while netherite buckets do not burn up or drop lava, and hotter fluids need a sturdier bucket.
Dispensers and mob milking
Dispensers can fill empty buckets, and milk buckets can be used on cows, with diamond buckets working on sheep and netherite buckets on pigs.
Upgrades and config
A diamond bucket can be upgraded to netherite at a smithing table, and the assortedbuckets-common config file controls the mod's settings.
