More Buckets Vanilla Bucket Progression Mod introduces a balanced tier ladder for buckets in Minecraft. Instead of jumping straight from having no bucket to an iron one, you can now craft early-game options from wood and bamboo. As you gather better materials, you unlock durable copper buckets, heat-resistant gold buckets, and unbreakable diamond buckets. This mod gives you practical tools to move water, milk, and lava right from your first day in a new world.
Features:
- Adds wooden and bamboo buckets as cheap starter tools for gathering water and milk.
- Brings permanent copper buckets that stack up to 16 and can pick up powder snow.
- Lets gold buckets safely carry lava and powder snow for up to 32 uses.
- Includes indestructible diamond buckets that hold all fluids and stack when empty.
- Adjusts the standard iron bucket recipe to require five iron ingots in a V-shape.
- Allows players to repair worn wooden, bamboo, and gold buckets in the crafting grid.
- Adds special enchantments like Fluid Infinity, Thermal Shield, and Conservation to upgrade bucket tools.
