smart bucking buckets
by Krotoeness
Smart Bucking Buckets is a Fabric client-side mod that stacks empty buckets so they take up less inventory space.
What it does
Empty buckets normally refuse to stack, which makes long farm runs with many buckets awkward to carry. This mod lets empty buckets merge into stacks, so a player can keep a large supply without filling a slot for each one. Only the client needs the mod, and the server can run without it. Files are published for Fabric across seven release versions, 1.20 – 1.20.6, with 2.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, under the MIT License.
Key features

Empty buckets combine into stacks, which frees inventory slots during long farming trips.

Client-side operation
Players install the mod alone, and servers can run without it.
