Ceramic Bucket

by cech12

With Ceramic Bucket, players can carry clay fluids in a bucket made from fired clay, with the mod adding an unfired clay bucket and a craftable furnace step.

What it does

Ceramic Bucket fills a bucket made of clay with fluids such as water, lava, milk, powder snow and the fish and axolotl contents of the vanilla game. The ceramic version is craftable from three clay balls, and an unfired clay bucket can be fired in a furnace to produce the finished item. Variants can be dyed in the same way as leather armor.

The mod is built on BucketLib, which lets other bucketable fluids, blocks and entities be supported. Hot fluids such as lava carry a configurable temperature of 1000, and a higher temperature melts the bucket sooner, so it has to be emptied in time. Since mod version 2.0.0, fluids and gases can be carried, and the project wiki documents how they behave.

Installation needs BucketLib, Cloth Config API and Fabric API on Fabric, while Mod Menu is optional. Ceramic Bucket runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 28 release versions, 1.14.4 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Clay fluid buckets

    Fluids such as water, lava, milk and powder snow can be carried in a clay bucket, behaving like a normal bucket.

  2. Craftable unfired bucket

    The unfired clay bucket is made from three clay balls and is fired in a furnace to become the ceramic version.

  3. Dyeable variants

    Buckets of this kind take dye the same way leather armor does, which lets a player tell a set of them apart.

  4. Temperature for hot fluids

    Lava carries a configurable temperature, and a hotter fluid melts the bucket sooner, so it must be emptied quickly.
