Requirements

This mod requires the Architectury API to be installed along with the mod

As of 1.20.1-1.2.0 and 1.20.2-1.1.0 Architectury API is no longer required. Only earlier versions of the 1.20.1 and 1.20.2 builds require it, any possible 1.19.X or earlier builds do not require it (May be coming in the future).

Configuration

There are currently two options in the config file which can be found in <minecraft directory>/config/villager-in-a-bucket.properties.

enable-zombie-villager sets whether a Zombie Villager can be picked up in a bucket. It does not remove the Zombie Villager In A Bucket item when disabled. Default is true
