Netherite Buckets

Adds netherite buckets and netherite cauldrons. They can be used to hold/pick up lava, while normal buckets and cauldrons no longer can.

Motivation

Ever felt like lava is way too powerful when used as a fuel source?

Setting up an automatic lava farm using drip stone and cauldrons is a matter of a few minutes, and it provides you with limitless fuel for your furnaces.

The mechanic is interesting, but accessible way too early.

Another mechanic of lava: It destroys every item, except netherite.

This mod combines these two concepts in an attempt to make the early/mid-game more difficult/varied and to increase the reward for getting netherite.

Advancement changes

"minecraft:story/form_obsidian" is now located after "minecraft:story/smelt_iron".

"minecraft:story/lava_bucket" is now located after "minecraft:nether/obtain_ancient_debris" and requires the player to hold a "netheritebuckets:netherite_lava_bucket". It also displays a Netherite Lava Bucket instead of a normal one.

Normal lava buckets/cauldrons

Normal lava buckets and cauldrons are still in the game, so you won't lose any blocks or items. They also work like normal, except that normal buckets can't pick up lava.

Due to technical reasons, it is still possible to fill normal cauldrons with lava using normal lava buckets.

Normal lava buckets can also be obtained by using normal buckets on a normal lava cauldron.

On a fresh world this should be no problem, as it is (to my knowledge) no longer possible to acquire a normal lava cauldron without a normal lava bucket and vice versa.

Other data packs/mods that add other ways to acquire them are of course an exception.

It is up to the player what should happen with normal lava buckets/cauldrons in existing worlds.
