About this Mod

Sometimes you want to hold a slime, but they're too slimy to hold in your hands, so there's one obvious solution: put them in a bucket. Now you can do that!

Slimes can detect the energy of chunks in which their kind have a special connection to, and will get excited whenever they're inside one. Thankfully, they're not quite slipperly enough to get out of the bucket (but I might add that at some point, configurable of course.)

Also, magma cubes can be bucketed too! Or, as I call them, hot slimes. Get yourself a bucket of hot slime. Careful though, they are hot.

Of course, this is a fairly common suggestion, and is a feature of the Quark mod. But now you can get it without all of the other useful features Quark has! What a deal!

(this is one of my first mods, so if some bugs made it into the bucket too, let me know on the GitHub issues page.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Slime Buckets server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Slime Buckets compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?

Slime Buckets officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.5, 1.21.1, 1.21. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Slime Buckets – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Slime Buckets consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
