Buckets of sulfur cubes preserve the "Age" and "AgeLocked" tags of the Sulfur Cube, but they do not preserve the "size" and other tags, which causes some issues.
How to Reproduce
Generate a Sulfur Cube with a very large size
/summon minecraft:sulfur_cube ~ ~ ~ {Size:20}Pick it up with a bucket and then place it back out
The Sulfur Cube's size reverts to 1
can also use /data get entity @s SelectedItem to check the bucket's NBT tags.
I feel this reduces some of the fun (in map‑making etc.), since map makers can no longer put a super‑large Sulfur Cube into a bucket to make a surprise.
Note that entity tags are also lost, which are essential for datapack-making. I reported it here and it was marked as duplicate of this: MC-310250
