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
Section titled “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
Section titled “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
Section titled “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
Section titled “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.
