~1 min read v1.0 Fabric

Overview #

Bucket of Everything lets you capture nearly every entity or object in a bucket and release it later with all important data preserved. Mob collection, transport, and release become as simple as right-clicking with a bucket.

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.
  2. Craft or obtain a bucket.
  3. Right-click an entity with the bucket to capture it.
  4. Right-click the ground to release the entity.
  5. Back up your world before heavy use — this is an early alpha.

Frequently asked questions #

Can I bucket a player?
No — players are never captured; every other living entity is fair game.
Is it safe for survival worlds?
It is an alpha; back up worlds before extensive use.
Which entities can I capture?
Nearly every living entity — mobs, animals, bosses, villagers — through one generic capture/release path with no whitelist.
What data is preserved?
Full NBT is preserved across the capture→release cycle, plus a dynamic display name and per-entity bucket textures.
Can I blacklist things?
Yes — a JSON config supports an entity blacklist, allowBossCapture and allowVillagerCapture.
Does it need Fabric API?
No — it uses vanilla APIs only, with no reflection or runtime libraries.
Which versions are supported?
1.21 through 1.21.11 plus 26.x builds.
