Understand Which Buckets Get the 3D Treatment

Affected Bucket Types

The Better Bucket 3D pack upgrades the appearance of four bucket variants:

• Empty buckets (standard)
• Water buckets
• Lava buckets
• Powder snow buckets

All of these display as thick, chunky 3D models both when held and in inventory menus.

Buckets That Stay Flat

Specialized buckets containing living creatures remain unchanged:

• Fish buckets
• Tadpole buckets
• Axolotl buckets

These keep their vanilla flat appearance by design, allowing you to visually distinguish them from standard buckets at a glance.

Why the Difference?

The pack prioritizes the most commonly used buckets for the visual upgrade, while keeping creature-holding buckets flat to maintain clear visual separation in your inventory and hotbar.
