About this Mod
Wooden Bucket
This is a Minecraft Forge mod that adds a Wooden Bucket to the game.

Special features of a Wooden Bucket:
- If the bucket contains lava, it melts as soon as you empty it. (temperature configurable)
- It has a durability of 25. (configurable)
- Obtaining fluids, blocks & entities can be configured via tags and via configuration file.

FAQ
Can I use this mod in my mod pack?
Yes, you are allowed to use this mod in your mod packs
Port to another Minecraft version? Which versions are supported?
Sorry, but I do not backport any mod to an older version. Here is a list of all supported and planned versions: Minecraft mod versions of cech12
Due to technical changes in Minecraft, the effort to port this mod to 1.16 is too large. There is already a similar mod for 1.16: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/wooden-buckets
Is there a Fabric version?
Since 1.20.4 the mod is available for Fabric & Quilt. There is no plan to backport Fabric support to earlier Minecraft versions. For earlier versions please check out this mod: Early-Game Buckets (Fabric)
Where is the config file?
There is a defaultconfig directory, where you can find it. If you change something there it has only an effect on new savegames. For existing savegames you need to go to the serverconfig directory of the savegame.
I found a bug or I have a good idea to enhance this mod!
Very good! Open an issue at Github. You have no Github-Account? You can also contact me here in the comments or via private message.

Server lagging with Wooden Bucket – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Wooden Bucket consumes the most tick time.
