Bucket of Tripodfish

A Bucket of Tripodfish is a Tripodfish inside of a water bucket.

Obtaining

A Bucket of Tripodfish can be obtained by using a water bucket on a Tripodfish. Once a water bucket is used, the water bucket is turned into a Bucket of Tripodfish.

Usage

Emptying

Emptying a Bucket of Tripodfish places a water source block, and spawns the Tripodfish back into the world, leaving an empty bucket inside the player's inventory. Placing a Bucket of Tripodfish in the Nether causes the same particles to appear that generate when a normal water bucket is placed in the Nether, and the Tripodfish is spawned alone.

Tripodfish caught in buckets then released do not despawn, unlike mobs that naturally spawn in aquatic environments.

If a Bucket of Tripodfish is named a certain name through an anvil, the Tripodfish inside displays that name as if it were named with a name tag. Alternatively, if a named Tripodfish is captured with a bucket of water, the resulting Bucket of Tripodfish shares the name with the captured Tripodfish.

Dispensers

If a Bucket of Tripodfish is placed inside a dispenser, the dispenser spawns the Tripodfish and water block in front of it upon activation, leaving an empty bucket inside. Dispensers cannot pick up Tripodfish with water buckets (the bucket is emptied).

History

1.0.0	Introduced.
1.1.2	Fixed Buckets of Tripodfish not being placed by dispensers.

Trivia

• Unlike the Buckets of Mobs added by the base game, Alex's Caves implements Buckets of Mobs by overlaying an item sprite of the mob onto a regular bucket.
  • Due to this, Buckets of Mobs added by Alex's Caves don't have the pixel consistency of being lowered by 1 pixel due to the weight of the mob inside.
