Bucket List
by nokko
Bucket List is a Fabric utility that tracks which blocks a player has looked at, so speedrunners can keep a running count of block types seen in a world.
What it does
Each block the player looks at is counted toward a tracking list, and the counter goes up as new blocks are seen. A tracking display sits in the top-left corner of the screen, showing progress through the list. The tracked data is saved to disk as persistent data on the server side, so the record survives between sessions.
The author's list marks some blocks as unobtainable and leaves out a number of obvious ones, and a comment in the code notes that the exclusion list is not finished. A startup log prints the full block list. Adding a configuration file is planned but not yet part of the mod. Bucket List depends on Fabric API and needs no other dependencies. It runs on client and server, so both the server and each player need it, and its code and issue tracker are public under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which makes the project open source.
Key features
Block look counter
Looking at a block increases a counter, so every new block type seen adds to the running total.
Top-left tracking display
A UI in the top-left corner of the screen shows the tracking state while the player plays.
Persistent server-side save
Tracked blocks are written to a saved file on the server, so progress persists across sessions.
Hidden secret message
Looking at a specific block shows a secret message, which the author placed inside the mod.

Use cases
Speedruns
Runners can track which blocks they have encountered during a timed run, using the counter as a progress measure.
Who it’s for: Speedrunners and players who want a visible record of the block types they encounter in a world, on a client, a server or both.
How it compares
SpeedrunUtils is a server-side only Fabric mod, open source under the MIT License, built for 1.21.11, so players join without installing it. Bucket Warning is a client-side only Fabric mod, also MIT licensed and open source, for 1.18.2. Bucket List by contrast needs both sides and is released for 1.16.1 – 1.17.
