Cube Ish Buckets By Malimiau Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need OptiFine or CIT Resewn to use this pack?
No, the pack works standalone on modern versions starting from 1.21.5. OptiFine or CIT Resewn are only needed if you're playing on older versions and want to see axolotl color variants displayed on your bucket textures.
Why can't I see my axolotl's color on the bucket?
On versions before 1.21.5, you need either OptiFine or CIT Resewn installed to display axolotl colors on bucket sprites. Make sure the mod or shader is active and the resource pack is loaded above any conflicting packs in your load order.
How do I know which liquid is in my bucket from the inventory?
Each liquid type has a distinct cubic bucket design with its own color fill—water is blue, lava is red, milk is white, and powder snow is light blue. The shape and coloring make it easy to identify at a glance.
Does this pack work with other resource packs?
Yes, but load this pack higher in your resource pack list than any other packs that modify bucket textures to ensure the cube designs appear correctly.
Can I use mob buckets to transport axolotls and other creatures?
Yes, mob buckets work the same way as in vanilla—capture a creature by right-clicking it with an empty bucket, then place it elsewhere by right-clicking again. This pack gives those mob buckets matching cubic designs.
Will the cube buckets look weird with my round-textured world?
No, the pack is designed to match Minecraft's blocky aesthetic, so the sharp cubic bucket designs complement square blocks and items naturally.
Do the bucket textures change based on how full they are?
The bucket textures show the color and type of liquid they contain, but the visual fullness is represented by the color intensity rather than a fill meter.
What happens if I use this pack with mods that add new liquids?
The pack covers standard Minecraft buckets (water, lava, milk, powder snow, and mob buckets). Custom liquid buckets from other mods will use their own textures unless the mod author creates compatibility textures.
Are the bucket icons still recognizable in my hotbar?
Yes, the pack maintains clear item silhouettes so you can quickly identify buckets in your hotbar and inventory without confusion.
Do I need to enable any special settings after installing this pack?
Just load the pack in your resource pack menu—no additional configuration is needed for versions 1.21.5 and newer. For older versions, enable OptiFine or CIT Resewn if you want axolotl color variants visible.
