PolyBBSM

PolyBBSM (Buckets, Brushes, Shears & More) is a utility-tool mod, not a simple “every vanilla tier” extension. It adds fluid-storing buckets and custom shears with their own gameplay rules, all rendered server-side through Polymer.

Buckets

Buckets in PolyBBSM store fluid internally in millibuckets. Higher-end buckets can carry multiple 1000 mB pours of the same fluid and place them back into the world one bucket at a time.

Variant	Capacity	Uses	Notes
Wooden (oak, birch, spruce, jungle, acacia, dark oak)	1000 mB	20	One bucket of fluid; cannot hold lava
Glass	2000 mB	40	Two-bucket capacity
Golden	2000 mB base	40	Efficiency adds +500 mB capacity per level
Diamond	3000 mB	60	Three-bucket capacity
Emerald	4000 mB	80	Highest normal capacity
Ender	1000 mB	Infinite	Stacks to 2 and paired buckets share stored fluid state

Buckets reject mixed fluids, support partial fill state, and work with cauldrons as well as normal source blocks. Wooden buckets are intentionally limited and cannot pick up lava.

Shears

Shears are tuned around wool yield rather than mining-speed tiers:

Variant	Wool Yield	Uses	Notes
Wooden (oak, birch, spruce, jungle, acacia, dark oak)	1x	20	Basic early-game shears
Golden	4x	40	Strong wool-farming option
Diamond	5x	60	Best sheep yield

All custom shears still work on sheep and other vanilla shearables. The custom yield bonus applies to sheep wool drops, while non-sheep shearing keeps normal vanilla behavior.

Virtual Items

Everything in PolyBBSM is server-side via Polymer. Vanilla clients see the custom buckets and shears with their proper textures through resource pack injection, with no client mods required.

Crafting

Wooden buckets and shears use the matching wood set. Glass, gold, diamond, emerald, and ender buckets each have their own recipes, and the upgraded shears use gold or diamond instead of simply mirroring vanilla iron shears.
