Rain Bucket [Fabric]
Rain Bucket lets empty buckets fill with rain water when they are held out under the sky during a rainfall.
What it does
Empty buckets held out while it rains collect rain water, so players can gather water without a well or a water source. The mod is a Fabric mod, and it runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. Only the 1.16.1 game version is covered, with the 1.0.0 file published on 2020-10-21 as the only release, under All rights reserved and not open source.
