Install Bucket of Everything #
Install Fabric Loader for 1.21 (plus Fabric API if the downloads page asks for it), place the JAR in your mods folder, and launch with the Fabric profile.
- Install the mod on a supported 1.21.x version (or experimental 26.x) — Fabric API is not required.
- Craft or obtain a bucket — it becomes a Bucket of Everything with per-entity textures.
- 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.
- Carry the bucket anywhere and right-click the ground to release the entity somewhere new.
- Optionally edit config/bucketofeverything.json (game closed) to blacklist entities or allow boss/villager capture.
- Back up your world before heavy use — this is an early alpha.
Working with Bucket of Everything #
Product-specific steps, separate from the general install guide above.
Capture any living thing
Right-click a mob with a **Bucket of Everything** bucket to store it — full **NBT** is preserved across the capture/release cycle, so the entity comes back intact with all its data. Right-click the ground again to release it somewhere new. Per-entity bucket textures and a dynamic display name show what is inside.
What you'll see. The held bucket changes texture to match the captured entity, and its display name updates to show what it carries.
- Nearly every entity or object can be bucketed — one generic capture path, no whitelist.
- **Players are never captured** — every other living entity is fair game.
Tune the rules (config/bucketofeverything.json)
Optional config: an **entity blacklist**, plus **allowBossCapture** and **allowVillagerCapture** toggles. Edit the file while the game is closed. The mod uses **vanilla APIs only** — no Fabric API, reflection or runtime libraries required.
Tips
- Ships 1.21 → 1.21.11 plus experimental 26.x; Fabric API is not needed.
- Built for redstone engineers, map makers and farmers — move entities like items.

MultiMC / Prism users: these folders live inside Instances/<instance>/.minecraft/. Match the build to your exact Minecraft version — the compatibility table in the docs lists every supported version.
Configure #
Settings live in the config folder (JSON5 files you can edit by hand) and, where available, in the in-game settings screen the mod adds. The exact keys and keybinds are listed in the documentation and the FAQ below.
Tips for Bucket of Everything #
- Keep Bucket of Everything on the version range shown on its product page.
- If it doesn't load, confirm the JAR is in the right mods folder for the launcher and version you chose.
- Bedrock Edition, mobile, and console can't run Java Edition mods or packs — for a port or custom variant, request a commission.
