Frequently asked questions

Do I need to do anything to enable the 3D buckets or do they work automatically?
The 3D bucket models activate as soon as you load a world with the resource pack enabled—no configuration needed. Just make sure the pack is selected in your resource pack menu and you'll see the new 3D shapes right away.
Will the 3D buckets change how I use buckets in the game?
No, the 3D models are purely visual and don't affect any bucket mechanics. Filling, placing, and collecting liquids or mobs works exactly the same as with vanilla buckets.
Do fish buckets and axolotl buckets also get the 3D treatment?
No, buckets holding fish, tadpoles, or axolotls keep their flat vanilla appearance. Only empty, water, lava, and powder snow buckets receive the 3D model upgrade.
Can I use this pack with other resource packs at the same time?
Yes, but resource pack order matters—place Better Bucket 3D higher in your pack list if you want its bucket models to override other packs. If another pack also modifies buckets, the one on top will take priority.
