Assorted Buckets
Buckets that hold more than one bucket. A diamond bucket carries 16 buckets of water, lava or milk and a netherite one carries 64, so you can drain a whole pond without walking back and forth. There's one in every material, and each has a milk version.

How it works
- Right click a fluid to fill the bucket and right click a block to pour out one bucket of it. The bar under the bucket shows how full it is.
- A bucket holds one fluid at a time. Water, lava, milk and fluids from other mods all work.
- Wooden and stone buckets hold one bucket and break once you pour it out. Gold holds 4, diamond 16 and netherite 64.
- Hotter fluids need a sturdier bucket. A wooden bucket leaves lava alone.
- Upgrade a diamond bucket to netherite at a smithing table. Netherite buckets don't burn up if you drop them in lava.
- Copper, emerald and amethyst buckets work right away. Tin, silver, steel, ruby and the rest can be made once another mod adds that metal or gem.
- Dispensers can fill and empty them too.
Milk
- Every bucket can milk a cow. Diamond buckets can milk sheep as well, and netherite buckets pigs too.
- Drinking from a milk bucket only uses up one bucket of milk and keeps the rest.
- Full milk buckets work in cake, taking one bucket of milk each.
Config
These are in the assortedbuckets-common config file. Changes need a restart.
- Each material has its own settings under
better_buckets.<material>for how many buckets it holds, what it can milk, how hot a fluid it can pick up and whether it breaks after use. better_buckets.allowPartialBucketAmountslets a bucket hold part of a bucket, so some can be left over after pouring out the full ones. Off by default.
