Animated Buckets
Java resource pack listed for Minecraft 1.21–26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on Modrinth
This is part of a larger ResourcePack I'm working on. For those of you that just want this one feature and not the entire ResourcePack.
Adds animation to nearly all buckets.
It also makes axolotl colors visible while in the bucket.
- Two of the animations (Pufferfish) are greatly inspired by the "Animated Items" ResourcePack.
- Axolotl animation was also based on theirs
Even if there are substantial changes, credit where credit is due. Check them out!!
