Hopper Bucket

by CursedFlames

Hopper Bucket lets hoppers that hold buckets move fluids into and out of the world, so a hopper line can fill or drain liquid sources.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.1

What it does

A hopper containing empty buckets drains fluid from the block above it and fills those buckets. A hopper containing filled buckets places their liquid into the space it faces, which lets a bucket chain carry water or lava down a line. Powdered snow works with the mod as well. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 26.1, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Draining with empty buckets

    Empty buckets inside a hopper pull fluid out of the block above, filling themselves.

  2. Placing from filled buckets

    Filled buckets in a hopper release their liquid into the space the hopper outputs to.

  3. Powdered snow support

    Buckets of powdered snow are handled the same way, so the hopper can place and collect them.

How it compares

Full comparison

Basic Fluid Hopper is also a client and server mod under the MIT License, but it is published for 1.19.2 – 1.21.5 on Fabric and NeoForge, so it covers older game versions than Hopper Bucket. Fill My Cauldron is server-side only and open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, with Fabric files for 1.21 – 26.2, so players can join without installing it.

What the author says

Allows hoppers containing buckets to remove and add fluids from the world. Hoppers containing empty buckets will drain fluids from above them, filling the buckets. (They will only do this if there is space in the hopper for the filled bucket.)
