Auto MLG Bucket
by Japheth
Auto MLG Bucket is a Fabric utility that places a water, lava, powder snow or hay bale block at the right moment when a player falls.
What it does
The mod targets the MLG water-bucket trick, where a player drops a bucket of water to break a fall. Players can switch the bucket and bale options on and off, and set which blocks the mod may place, through a configuration screen with several options. Water Bucket, Lava Bucket, Powder Snow Bucket and Hay Bale are the four placement modes it covers.
Because the mod runs only on the client, a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The latest Fabric file is 1.1.0+mc1.21.11 for 1.21.11, published 2026-04-11 after a first release on 2026-04-10. Fabric is the only loader, and the mod needs no dependencies.
Key features
Water bucket placement
The mod can place water to catch a falling player, which is the core MLG trick the mod is named for.
Lava and powder snow buckets
Lava and powder snow can be used as the placed block instead of water, each chosen through the mod's options.
Hay bale option
A hay bale can be placed as the landing block when a player takes a fall, as an alternative to a liquid or snow.
Multiple configuration options
A configuration screen lets the player turn each placement mode on or off and adjust how the mod reacts to falls.

Use cases
Single-player practice

Multiplayer fall play
Players on a server can use the mod on their own client, since a server does not need it.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want to practice or play the MLG water-bucket technique on Fabric, and it works for both single-player and multiplayer clients.
