The Golden Bucket
by XzeroAir
The Golden Bucket is a Forge mod that adds a golden bucket able to carry three blocks worth of fluid at once, where the vanilla bucket holds only one.
What it does
The golden bucket is a quality-of-life upgrade for moving liquids: a single item that picks up and places up to three blocks of fluid in one use. The mod adds no other content. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds cover 1.12.2 – 1.20.6 across six game versions, and the newest file, 1.0.0, targets 1.20.6 and was published on 2026-04-10. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Triple fluid capacity
Where a normal bucket carries one block of fluid, the golden bucket carries three.
Single added item
The mod adds one item, a golden bucket, and changes no other recipes, blocks or mobs.
Shiny upgrade look
The golden bucket is a gold-colored texture that replaces the look of the standard bucket in the hand.

What the author says
The Golden Bucket is a small, quality-of-life mod that adds exactly one thing to Minecraft: a shiny golden bucket with an unnecessarily impressive sense of ambition. Unlike a normal bucket that only carries a single block of fluid, this luxurious upgrade can hold up to three blocks’ worth at once.
