Assorted Buckets

Assorted Buckets

Buckets that hold more than one bucket. A diamond bucket carries 16 buckets of water, lava or milk and a netherite one carries 64, so you can drain a whole pond without walking back and forth. There's one in every material, and each has a milk version.

How it works

• Right click a fluid to fill the bucket and right click a block to pour out one bucket of it. The bar under the bucket shows how full it is.
• A bucket holds one fluid at a time. Water, lava, milk and fluids from other mods all work.
• Wooden and stone buckets hold one bucket and break once you pour it out. Gold holds 4, diamond 16 and netherite 64.
• Hotter fluids need a sturdier bucket. A wooden bucket leaves lava alone.
• Upgrade a diamond bucket to netherite at a smithing table. Netherite buckets don't burn up if you drop them in lava.
• Copper, emerald and amethyst buckets work right away. Tin, silver, steel, ruby and the rest can be made once another mod adds that metal or gem.
• Dispensers can fill and empty them too.

Milk

• Every bucket can milk a cow. Diamond buckets can milk sheep as well, and netherite buckets pigs too.
• Drinking from a milk bucket only uses up one bucket of milk and keeps the rest.
• Full milk buckets work in cake, taking one bucket of milk each.

Config

These are in the assortedbuckets-common config file. Changes need a restart.

• Each material has its own settings under better_buckets.<material> for how many buckets it holds, what it can milk, how hot a fluid it can pick up and whether it breaks after use.
• better_buckets.allowPartialBucketAmounts lets a bucket hold part of a bucket, so some can be left over after pouring out the full ones. Off by default.
