PwnBuckets
Want to add a little more realism to your server? By popular request I've pulled this feature from PwnPlantGrowth and made it into a standalone plugin, say hello to PwnBuckets! Set water when poured from buckets and dispensers to behave more like real water! No more water source and infinite pools.. force your players to irrigate using natural sources.
Current Features
- Water from buckets can be configured to act like fluid water.
- Water from buckets in dispensers can be configured to act like fluid water.
- Water melted from is buckets can be configured to act like fluid water.
- Lava from buckets can be configured to act like fluid lava.
- Select specific biomes where water source can be used.
Expected Features
- Player permissions which will allow player to use bucket as water source.
- -Ice block behavior- done.
- -Potentially do something with lava buckets- done.
- Suggestions?
Installation
- Stop your server.
- Place the PwnBuckets.jar in your /plugins directory.
- Start your server, note that the /plugins/PwnBuckets/config.yml file has been created.
- Stop your server.
- Edit the /plugins/PwnBuckets/config.yml to your liking. (Please note by default - all settings in our config are DISABLED)
- Start your server.
Note: It is important to always test ANY plugin you install prior to deploying it for production, you as a server admin, should always consider this to be Rule #1 of running a server.
Configuration
- Edit the configuration file in /plugins/PwnBuckets/config.yml
- Currently the config is fairly simple and should be self explanatory, if you need more help with configuration, here is the Configuration Page
Commands
- There are currently no commands available, but there may be in future versions.

Plugin Metrics
This plugin utilizes bStats plugin metrics system, which means that some information is collected and sent to bstats.org.
If you don't want that your server sends data to bStats you can disable it by setting enabled to false in the bStats config file. The config can be found in the /plugins/bStats/config.yml file. bStats has nearly no effect on your server's performance and the sent data is completely anonymous so please consider twice if you really want to disable it.
Useless.. I swear :/
I'd like to know if anyone has had a chance to use this in Minecraft 1.13 - The Aquatic update yet. There have been some changes to the behavior of water and lava liquid and could potentially affect this plugin. I've been out of minecraft for awhile and haven't had time to update or test.
This is actually quite interesting. Gives Minecraft a bit more of a challenge. Typically servers overlook the simplicity of creating an infinite food source with water (farms), and infinite water sources using source blocks. I think this actually gives players the need to think about what they have to do in order to properly grow crops (Grow them next to an existing ocean or something)
@olegikoligik
Copy of your config? Copy of any errors you may have gotten? Works for me on spigot 1.7.9 and 1.8+
can't help if you just say "not work" - also, you cant use the latest version on 1.7.9 because its for 1.8...
Not work on spigot-1.7.9
I have a strong feeling that this plugin could greatly benefit Agricraft mod if something was tweaked. Not sure exactly what though.
Anyway, here is a link to the mod: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/1-7-10-agricraft.50964/
Agricraft provides irrigation systems for players to build. PwnBuckets disallows moving of water sources.
Both run nicely on Cauldron server.
very nice!
An update to PwnBuckets v0.3 is out with new feature for Ice Blocks, tested compatible with Spigot 1.8 build!
@asonofashadow I will look into making something like this a configurable option.
@Lushie1104 This plugin won't remove existing natural waterfalls or fountains that are already made, however it will prevent them from being made once enabled, so in a way yes.. this will help FPS and it could also be handy to decrease griefing.
Cool Plugins! Sound Great! but can this Plugin decrease the fps for the flowing water that from high place to the air,such as fountain? thank you
You're the man, any chance you could make this happen only when it's on a flat area, but if it's in a hole or pit it fills it with a water source block?
Thank you, I got tired of this easy/unrealistic gameplay and this sure helps a lot to build a true hard server.
@CyberGod101 You don't. And that is the whole point. You must irrigate and farm near naturally occurring water sources... just like the real world. Water evaporates and sinks into the ground. This isn't for everyone's server, it's for people looking to make things harder / more realistic / or roleplay.
Question... How do you build a Farm with this... ie. keeping the Soil wet for Weath farms and others when all the water you get disappers?
