How to Craft Your First Bucket in More Buckets

Pick a material you already have

Every bucket in this mod is made on a crafting table using a shaped recipe. Start with the cheapest metal you can smelt. Copper Bucket, Tin Bucket, Silver Bucket, and Aluminum Bucket are the practical entry points, since these metals are common early. If you have a Bronze Bucket in mind, craft it directly rather than upgrading later.

Craft it

Open a crafting table and arrange your ingots in the standard bucket shape: three ingots across the top row, one ingot in the middle-left slot, and one ingot in the middle-right slot, leaving the center and bottom row empty. The result is the bucket matching your ingot type. For example, three Copper Ingots plus one Copper Ingot on each side yields a Copper Bucket.

Move up the tiers

Once you have a working bucket, the higher tiers follow the same shaped layout with their own materials. Golden Bucket, Steel Bucket, Obsidian Bucket, Quartz Bucket, and Diamond Bucket each use their namesake material in that same pattern. Emerald Bucket and Rubber Bucket work the same way. For the farming tiers, Imperium Bucket, Prudentium Bucket, Tertium Bucket, Supremium Bucket, Inferium Bucket, and Insanium Bucket each craft from their matching material. Keep one bucket of each tier you unlock so you can compare capacity and behavior side by side.
