Wooden Bucket
by cech12
Wooden Bucket lets a bucket pick up and carry fluids, blocks and entities, and the bucket itself is made of wood.
What it does
A wooden bucket holds water, lava, milk, powder snow and other fluids in the same way as the vanilla bucket, and fills, empties and collects in the same way. Fluids and entities can be made bucketable through tags or a configuration file, so modpacks can extend what the bucket carries. A bucket that holds lava melts over time, and the temperature the bucket can take is configurable.
The bucket has a durability of 25 uses. The mod requires BucketLib, Cloth Config API and Fabric API on Fabric, and it can add Mod Menu for its settings screen. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 25 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3, and the latest Forge build covers 1.20.1.
Key features
Bucketable fluids and blocks
Water, lava, milk and powder snow can be collected and placed, as with the vanilla bucket.
Bucketable entities
Entities can be captured in the bucket when tags or the configuration file allow it.
Lava and temperature
A bucket holding lava melts soon, and the temperature limit is configurable.
Configurable sources
Which fluids, blocks and entities are bucketable is set by tags and the configuration file.
