Bucketem FAQ

Right-click on a mob with an empty bucket or glass bottle in your hand. The mob will be captured inside the container, and you can carry it in your inventory or place it back down by right-clicking on a block.

Buckets can capture squids, striders, and frogs. Axolotls and tropical fish already had bucket support in vanilla, but this mod updates their appearance so they're easier to distinguish.

Glass bottles are designed for smaller and flying mobs like bees, allays, vexes, and slimes. Check the mod's item descriptions or try right-clicking on a small mob to see if it's bottleable.

Yes, this mod changes how buckets stack so you can carry multiple mob buckets without taking up excessive inventory space, making it easier to transport several creatures at once.

Once you place a captured mob back into the world by right-clicking, it behaves like a normal mob and can breed if you provide the appropriate conditions and food items.

The bucket or bottle item will drop like any other item in your inventory, and the mob inside will remain safely contained until you pick it back up or place it down.

Yes, you can carry buckets and bottles between dimensions, though some mobs may take damage if placed in incompatible environments (for example, a squid placed on land will suffocate).

Glass bottles are typically crafted using standard Minecraft materials; check your crafting menu or the mod's guide for the exact recipe if you don't have any yet.

Mobs stored in buckets and bottles are not active while contained, so carrying multiple filled buckets should not cause performance issues compared to having those mobs loose in the world.

Compatibility depends on how the other mod is designed; most mobs should work, but some custom mobs may not be catchable if they have special requirements or the mod author disabled bucket support.
