About this Mod
This mod gives you more control over how your fluids are placed with a bucket
Waterlogging
- When sneaking, water is placed next to a waterlogable block instead of waterlogging it no matter what
Placement on small plants
- When placing fluids on a small plant-like block (short grass, small flowers, fern, pink petals, saplings, etc.) you can control the placement also by sneaking
- If you sneak while placing, the fluid will be placed above the plant (like in vanilla)
- If you do not sneak while placing, the fluid replaces the plant block immediately like in older minecraft versions
