It’d be nice to have a option to just fill with a dither pattern.

These are features. [Aseprite - Docs - Brushes](https://www.aseprite.org/docs/brushes#custom-pattern-brushes)

You can use this custom brush to paint and also fill areas with the fill tool.

I know but in the form of a bucket would be nice as well so you can fill a section face and not have to worry about missing a part.

Confused on what you mean by a “bucket tool“ other than the paint bucket/fill tool.
