Bucket of Everything Docs

Overview #

Bucket of Everything lets you capture nearly every entity or object in a bucket and release it later with all important data preserved. One generic capture/release path with no whitelist handles living entities, animals, bosses and villagers; full NBT is preserved across the capture→release cycle, with a dynamic display name and per-entity bucket textures showing what is inside. Players are never captured — by design. It uses vanilla APIs only, so no Fabric API, reflection or runtime libraries are required.

Bottling mobs is a staple of technical Minecraft — but it only works for a handful of mobs. Bucket of Everything extends that to nearly every entity and object, preserving all important data so you can store, transport, and release anything.

Quick start #

1. Install the mod on a supported 1.21.x version (or experimental 26.x) — Fabric API is not required.
2. Craft or obtain a bucket — it becomes a Bucket of Everything with per-entity textures.
3. Right-click an entity with the bucket to capture it — full NBT is preserved, and the bucket's display name updates to show what it carries.
4. Carry the bucket anywhere and right-click the ground to release the entity somewhere new.
5. Optionally edit config/bucketofeverything.json (game closed) to blacklist entities or allow boss/villager capture.
6. Back up your world before heavy use — this is an early alpha.

Configuration #

Configuration lives in config/bucketofeverything.json — optional. Edit it while the game is closed; most changes reload on next launch.
