What The Bucket - Bucket Bug Fix
This mod resolves a long-standing issue in Minecraft where certain bucket types unexpectedly disappear when used as crafting ingredients. Normally, a water bucket turns into an empty bucket after being used in a recipe, but newer variants like the powder snow bucket are completely consumed. With this mod installed, all affected vanilla buckets will correctly return an empty bucket as intended.
Affected Buckets
The fix applies to the following bucket types:
- Pufferfish bucket
- Salmon bucket
- Cod bucket
- Tropical fish bucket
- Axolotl bucket
- Powder snow bucket
- Tadpole bucket
Frequently Asked Questions
Server Compatibility
When the mod is installed on a server, the bug will be fixed for all connecting players, even if they don't have the mod. If the mod is only installed on the client, the fix will only apply to single-player worlds. For consistency, it's recommended to install the mod on both client and server.
Fixing Buckets from Other Mods
No, this mod only fixes standard Minecraft buckets. If the issue occurs with buckets from other mods, you should contact their authors to fix the code. In exceptional cases where a mod is no longer maintained, a fix might be considered, but this is a last resort.
