Bucketry Revamp

The bucket progression vanilla never finished.

Vanilla gives you exactly one bucket — iron, or nothing. Bucketry fills that one missing piece with a small, vanilla-first tier ladder: a cheap wooden bucket early, a tougher bamboo one, a permanent copper one, and a versatile gold one — the only added bucket that can hold lava, matching vanilla iron. No HUD, no menus, no new ores. Just buckets that behave the way you'd expect.

The bucket family

✨ What you can do

Wooden & bamboo buckets wear out and break — and you can repair them by combining two damaged ones in the crafting grid, just like any tool.
Copper is permanent like iron: it never breaks, the empty bucket stacks to 16, and it can scoop powder snow.
Gold (32 uses) is the only added bucket that can hold lava (matching vanilla iron) — it also carries water, milk, and powder snow, making it the most versatile of the new tiers.
Every tier has empty / water / milk variants — milk a cow, then drink to clear effects. Copper and gold add a powder snow bucket. Gold is the only added tier with a lava bucket (iron uses the vanilla lava bucket).
The iron bucket is 100% vanilla; only its recipe changes to match the family's shape.
