The Infinity Enchantement on Water Buckets doesn't seem to work as intended. When placed it seems to take some time before it recharges completely meaning that by clicking fast enough you can get rid of the water. Also after placing the bucket down 2 or 3 times the water dissapears even if you don't click too fast.

These seem to be other issues related to the infinity water bucket, like VazkiiMods/Botania#3803

Would it be a good idea to make the infinity water bucket a wholly separate item, instead of having to deal with things that accidentally strip bucket nbt?

it happened with me too
probably low ram or a bug or something

I applied the infinity water bucket in a recipe and then it no longer had infinity at all! My XP and Book were just completely wasted and lost. This does not seem like an intended behavior. Putting water back in does not change its state. Infinity is just gone forever.

Hello! Quark's moved to 1.18 now-- unfortunately, this means that (unless your bug is critical and/or game-breaking), we're closing support for issues filed for versions prior to it (e.g. Quark on 1.16).

If your issue still occurs on 1.18, or if your issue happens to be rather critical (e.g. consistently crashing the game with no other mods present), please leave another note or open a new issue. Thanks for your cooperation!
