About this Mod

MobBuckets is a fun experience to play around with since the whole premiss of the project is to mimic the mechanics of fish buckets but for any mob. Yes, that includes bosses such as the Wither or Ender Dragon.
- Fabric and Paper Support (Mod version is heavily advised as it will be a more stable enviornment)
- Mod is both Client and Server, meaning if the server has it installed, but you don't have the mod installed textures won't load.
- Shift+Right-Click while holding an empty bucket to capture a mob. (Doesn't work on anything you can capture in a water bucket: Fish, Axolotl, Tadpoles.)
- The ability to clutch with any mob as long as you release the mob and collide with their hitbox before you hit the ground! (Works with the "Bucket of Player" too!)
- Multi-player "Bucket of Player" crafting allows you to craft a "Bucket of Player" with up to 8 different player's playerheads at once!
- The "Bucket of Player" teleports the bound players to where you release them. (Useful for saving or trapping or clutching on them to kill them >:D)
- Data persistence for mobs, such as sheeps or villagers (Don't worry about trades resetting!)
- Players drop their playerheads when they die, these can be used to bind a player to a "Bucket of Player" when crafting a playerhead with a bucket.
Server Managers Read This:
I'm aware of the struggle of having your playerbase download a clientside mod just to load textures, so if you're hosting a server with MobBuckets you can have your players download this resourcepack to avoid clientsided mod conflictions if there were any.
