Bucket of Nautilus

by VolfLife

Bucket of Nautilus lets a player catch a nautilus in a water bucket by right-clicking it, so the animal can be carried to a new location.

What it does

A nautilus captured this way stays stored in the bucket until it is released, so it can be moved between places. Players can use this to stock underwater bases, build aquatic habitats and decorate aquariums, or to shape a custom ocean world. The mod needs Fabric API, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 5 release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.3, and the code is not open source, as it is released under All rights reserved.

The item is a simple addition to the mob category. Its aim is transport, so the capture rule is the central mechanic rather than a set of new creatures or behaviors.

Key features

  1. Capture with a bucket

    Right-clicking a nautilus with a water bucket captures it, and the animal is carried inside the bucket.

  2. Safe storage

    A captured nautilus stays in the bucket in the inventory until the player decides to release it.

  3. Release anywhere

    A stored nautilus can be let go at any spot, so it can be moved to a new underwater area or habitat.
