About this project

What does What The Bucket add?

This mod fixes an old bug in Minecraft that causes certain bucket items to be destroyed when using them as ingredients. For example a bucket of water will normally convert into an empty bucket when used as a crafting ingredient however newer buckets such as the bucket of powdered snow will be completely consumed. With this mod installed all affected vanilla buckets will convert into an empty bucket as expected.

Affected Buckets

  • Bucket of Pufferfish
  • Bucket of Salmon
  • Bucket of Cod
  • Bucket of Tropical Fish
  • Bucket of Axolotl
  • Powder Snow Bucket
  • Bucket of Tadpole

FaQ

How does this work with servers?

When this mod is installed on a server the bug will be fixed for all connecting players while on the server even if they do not have the mod installed. If the mod is only installed on the client the bug will only be fixed for single player worlds. It is recommended that client and server install the mod for consistency.

Will this fix buckets added by mods?

No. The issue fixed by this mod only impacts vanilla buckets. If a bucket added by a mod has this issue the author of that mod is responsible for fixing their own bucket code and you should report the issue to them. In rare cases I may consider fixing the bug if the modder is no longer around or the mod is unmaintained however this should only be seen as a last resort.
