It looks like powder snow calls BlockPlaceEvent instead of PlayerBucketEmptyEvent

Hm I see. If that's intended API design, I would suggest mentioning it in the java documentation of PlayerBucketEmptyEvent so people don't get confused.

Yea, I am a bit uncertain if we shouldn't be calling both here.
The empty events are called way before the block placement happens, the solid bucket items pretend to be blocks however, idk if we could call that here.
The fact that it is inconsistent on the fill and emptying is also annoying.

I would probably call PlayerBucketEmptyEvent and not call BlockPlaceEvent at all.
Extend PlayerBucketEmptyEvent java doc to mention that it's not calle…

Yes.
minecraft:water_bucketandminecraft:lava_buckettriggersPlayerBucketEmptyEventandPlayerBucketFillEvent, butminecraft:powder_snow_bucketnot. It should also be triggered there, because the Minecraft mechanics for emptying and filling buckets are the same.
