More Buckets
by BlakeBr0
With More Buckets installed, players can carry larger fluid loads in buckets made from several different materials.
What it does
More Buckets adds buckets in a range of materials, each holding a greater amount of fluid than the vanilla bucket. The buckets can be used in crafting recipes, which makes fluid transport more efficient when a build needs many loads. The buckets also work with fluid tanks and with most machines that insert or extract fluid.
The mod was inspired by Diamond Buckets+ and aims at the same job of moving larger quantities of fluid across a base. It is a storage and utility addition that fits factory and automation play, where hauling fluid by the single bucket becomes slow. Cucumber Library is required and must be installed alongside More Buckets.
Builds cover 1.12.2 – 26.1.2 on Forge and NeoForge. Files target 1.20.1 for Forge (latest 4.0.6, 2025-08-12) and 26.1.2 for NeoForge (latest 6.0.0, 2026-05-12). The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Only the client and server need it, and both must run it.
Key features
Material variants
Buckets are offered in several materials, so a base can choose a tier that matches its progress.
Larger fluid capacity
Each bucket holds more fluid than a vanilla bucket, cutting down the number of trips a build needs.
Crafted recipes
Buckets are made through crafting recipes, so the supply of higher tiers grows with the player's resources.
Machine and tank compatibility
Buckets interact with fluid tanks and with most machines that insert or extract fluid.
