A '''water bucket''' is a [[Minecraft:bucket]] filled with [[Minecraft:water]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Interacting ===
To fill an empty [[Minecraft:bucket]] with water, {{control|use}} it on a [[Minecraft:water]] source block. The water is consumed in the process. Flowing water does not fill a bucket.

{{control|Using}} an empty bucket on a [[Minecraft:cauldron]] filled with water (water level 3) empties the cauldron and fills the bucket.

Water buckets can also be filled by placing an empty one in the fuel slot of a [[Minecraft:furnace]], and a wet [[Minecraft:sponge]] into the oven slot. The bucket is filled when the [[Minecraft:smelting]] process completes, which also leaves the sponge dry and ready to be reused.

=== Generated loot ===
{{LootChestItem|water-bucket}}

=== Smelting ===
If an empty bucket is in the fuel slot of a [[Minecraft:furnace]]  when a [[Minecraft:wet sponge]] finishes [[Minecraft:smelting]] and becomes a dry sponge, the bucket fills with water. Other fuel items have to be used to smelt the wet sponge before the empty bucket is inserted. If a [[Minecraft:lava bucket]] is used as the fuel, it fills with water when the sponge dries out, meaning an empty bucket does not need to be inserted separately.

== Usage ==
{{Control|Using}} a water bucket on a solid block places a water source block against that block, emptying the bucket; using a water bucket on a [[Minecraft:waterlogging|waterloggable]] block waterlogs the block. In [[Minecraft:the Nether]], however, the water evaporates, making a fire extinguishing sound and displays smoke particles while nothing gets placed.

Water buckets are also used to perform [[Minecraft:water bucket clutch]]s to remove [[Minecraft:fall damage]].

=== Dispensers ===
A [[Minecraft:dispenser]] can be loaded with a water bucket, and when activated it places a water block directly before it, emptying the bucket. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it draws the source into the bucket when activated.

=== Cauldrons ===
A single water bucket can fill a [[Minecraft:cauldron]], and using an empty bucket on a water-filled cauldron fills the bucket. Empty buckets cannot be filled from partly-filled cauldrons. This also works in [[Minecraft:the Nether]], and is the only way to place water there without cheats or mods.

=== Filling bucket with mobs ===
Water buckets can be used on a [[Minecraft:fish]], [[Minecraft:axolotl]] or [[Minecraft:tadpole]] to create a [[Minecraft:bucket of aquatic mob]].

=== Transportation ===
{{main|Tutorial:Elevators#Water elevators}}
Water buckets can be used as a means of quickly descending great heights in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] and [[Minecraft:the End]], either by creating a waterfall or using the water bucket while falling to create a safe water landing.

Water buckets can also be used to climb vertical surfaces anywhere (except [[Minecraft:the Nether]]) by repeatedly creating higher waterfalls from the bottom and swimming up them.

=== Trading ===
[[Minecraft:Wandering trader]]s have a {{frac|1|3}} chance of purchasing 1 water bucket for 2 [[Minecraft:emerald]]s.
