Crafting Every Metal Bucket: A Material Checklist

Gather the base metals

Before you touch a crafting table, stock the raw materials for each bucket you want. The metal line covers Aluminum Bucket, Bronze Bucket, Copper Bucket, Silver Bucket, Steel Bucket, and Tin Bucket. Smelt or alloy these first, then bring them to the table in ingot form.

Use the shared shaped recipe

All 18 buckets use the same crafting_shaped layout. Place three ingots of your chosen material across the top row, then one ingot in the middle-left and one in the middle-right. The center and bottom row stay empty. Swap the ingot type to change the output: Copper Ingots give a Copper Bucket, Tin Ingots give a Tin Bucket, and so on.

Non-metal and gem tiers

Diamond Bucket, Emerald Bucket, Obsidian Bucket, and Quartz Bucket follow the identical pattern using their namesake material. Rubber Bucket uses rubber in the same slots. The farming progression — Imperium Bucket, Prudentium Bucket, Tertium Bucket, Supremium Bucket, Inferium Bucket, and Insanium Bucket — each craft from their matching tier material in that same five-slot shape. Because the recipe never changes, you can mass-produce any tier once you have enough of its material. Craft the lowest tier you can afford first, then work upward as better materials become available.
