About this project
What does MobBuckets add?

MobBuckets is a fun experience to play around with since the whole premiss of the project is to mimic the mechanics of bucket of mob buckets but for any mob. Yes, that includes bosses such as the Wither or Ender Dragon.
- Mod is both Client and Server, meaning if the server has it installed, you don't need the mod installed on your end.
- Shift+Right-Click while holding an empty bucket to capture a mob. (Doesn't work on anything you can capture in a water bucket: Fish, Axolotl, Tadpoles.)
- The ability to clutch with any mob as long as you release the mob and collide with their hitbox before you hit the ground! (Works with the "Bucket of Player" too!)
- Multi-player "Bucket of Player" crafting allows you to craft a "Bucket of Player" with up to 8 different player's playerheads at once!
- The "Bucket of Player" teleports the bound players to where you release them. (Useful for saving or trapping or clutching on them to kill them >:D)
- Data persistence for mobs, such as sheeps or villagers (Don't worry about trades resetting!)
- Players drop their playerheads when they die, these can be used to bind a player to a "Bucket of Player" when crafting a playerhead with a bucket.
Works well with Axolotl Reckoning
