Axolotl Bucket Fix Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know if the Axolotl Bucket Fix Mod is actually working?
Catch an axolotl that isn't pink, then look at the bucket in your inventory or hand. If the bucket's texture shows the correct axolotl color instead of the default pink, the mod is active. If every bucket still looks pink, the mod isn't loaded or another resource pack is overriding it.
Why do all my axolotl buckets still look pink after installing this mod?
A resource pack loaded above the mod's textures can override the bucket icons, so check your pack order and move the mod's assets higher or disable conflicting packs. Also confirm the mod is actually enabled for the world you're playing, since a disabled or missing mod will fall back to vanilla pink buckets.
Does this mod work on a server, or do I need it on the server too?
It's a client-side mod, so you only need it on your own game to see the correct bucket textures. Servers don't need it installed, and other players without the mod will still see pink buckets on their end.
How do I tell which axolotl is in my bucket?
Just look at the bucket's icon in your inventory or hotbar. The mod changes the texture to match the axolotl's color, so a blue bucket means a blue axolotl and so on. Hovering over the item also shows the axolotl's variant in the tooltip.
How can I tell if an axolotl in a bucket is a baby?
The mod adds separate textures for baby axolotls, so a baby bucket looks visibly smaller or different from the adult version of the same color. Compare it side by side with an adult bucket of the same variant to spot the difference.
Does the mod change how axolotls behave or how buckets work?
No, it only changes the visual texture of the bucket item to match the axolotl inside. Catching, releasing, and breeding axolotls all work exactly the same as in vanilla.
Will this mod conflict with other mods or resource packs?
It can conflict with resource packs or mods that also change axolotl bucket textures, since only one texture can win. If buckets look wrong, try disabling other bucket or axolotl texture packs and reload your resources.
Does the mod affect performance or FPS?
It only swaps a few item textures, so the performance impact is negligible. You won't notice any FPS change from using it.
Can I use this mod to sort or organize a large collection of axolotl buckets?
Yes, the distinct textures make it much easier to tell variants apart at a glance in chests and shulker boxes. You can group buckets by color and separate babies from adults without opening each one.
Do I need to re-catch axolotls for the mod to show the right texture?
No, existing buckets in your world will display the correct texture as soon as the mod is loaded, since the texture is chosen based on the axolotl data already stored in the bucket. Just reload the game or world if the change doesn't appear immediately.
