I'm playing on Fabric 1.21.1 with the Aether mod, and I want to rebalance the progression a bit.
Right now, the Aether portal is activated with a water bucket on glowstone, but in my modpack glowstone is relatively easy to obtain early game. I’d like to change the activation item to something that still thematically relates to a water bucket, but requires Nether progression — for example, crafting a special bucket using Crimson Fungus or another Nether-exclusive item.
My goal is:
Keep the “bucket” identity (so not something totally unrelated)
Require Nether progression (fungus, blaze powder, etc.)
Prevent normal water buckets from activating the portal
What would be the best way to do this on Fabric 1.21.1?
