A '''bucket of mob''' is an aquatic small [[Minecraft:mob]] (a [[Minecraft:fish]], [[Minecraft:axolotl]], or [[Minecraft:tadpole]]) or a [[Minecraft:sulfur cube]]{{Upcoming|Chaos Cubed}} inside of a [[Minecraft:water bucket]] or a [[Minecraft:bucket]], obtained by {{Control|using}} a water bucket on each respective aquatic mob or a bucket on the sulfur cube.

== Types ==
There are six (seven{{upcoming|Chaos Cubed}}) types of bucket of mob:
* {{ItemLink|Bucket of Axolotl}}
* {{ItemLink|Bucket of Cod}}
* {{ItemLink|Bucket of Pufferfish}}
* {{ItemLink|Bucket of Salmon}}
* {{ItemLink|Bucket of Sulfur Cube}}{{upcoming|Chaos Cubed|notag=1}}
* {{ItemLink|Bucket of Tadpole}}
* {{ItemLink|Bucket of Tropical Fish}}

== Obtaining ==
A bucket of mob can be obtained by {{control|using}} a [[Minecraft:water bucket]] on an applicable aquatic [[Minecraft:mob]] or {{control|using}} a [[Minecraft:bucket]] on a large [[Minecraft:sulfur cube]]. Once a water bucket is used, the mob is picked up, along with the water source block for aquatic mobs. The mob bucket obtained corresponds to the mob picked up.

== Usage ==
Pressing {{control|use}} with a bucket of mob places a [[Minecraft:water]] source block (in the case of aquatic mobs), and spawns the mob itself back into the world, leaving an [[Minecraft:bucket|empty bucket]] in the [[Minecraft:player]]'s [[Minecraft:inventory]].

The and its details (such as size or name) are kept. Placing a bucket of aquatic mob in [[Minecraft:the Nether]] causes the same [[Minecraft:particle]]s to appear that generate when a normal [[Minecraft:water bucket]] is placed in the Nether, and the fish is spawned alone.

Mobs caught in buckets then released do not despawn, unlike mobs that spawn naturally in their aquatic environments.

If a bucket of aquatic mob is inside a [[Minecraft:dispenser]], the dispenser spawns the mob and water block (if applicable) in front of it upon activation, leaving an empty bucket inside. Dispensers cannot pick up aquatic mobs with water buckets (the bucket is emptied).

=== Naming ===
If a bucket of aquatic mob is named a certain name through an anvil, the mob inside displays that name as if it were named with a name tag, making fish, axolotls, and tadpoles the only mobs that can exist in item form, and be named without a name tag.{{Only|java}} Alternatively, if a named mob is captured with a bucket of water, the resulting mob bucket shares a name with the captured mob.{{Only|java}} If a named mob is captured {{in|Bedrock}}, the item is called "Bucket of <Name>".

Tropical fish have assigned names depending on their color after they are caught, {{in|je}} this name is displayed in smaller text under the main item name, whereas {{in|be}} the main item name displays "Bucket of <fish name>". Axolotls also have assigned names depending on their growth stage and color after they are caught.{{Only|bedrock}}

== Trivia ==
* When a [[Minecraft:bucket]] or [[Minecraft:water bucket]] is transformed into a bucket of mob, it actually pushes the bucket texture down one pixel. According to [[Minecraft:Dinnerbone]], [[Minecraft:JAPPA]] says this is due to the "weight of the fish".<ref>{{bug|MC-127919||Bucket texture moves down by one pixel after capturing fish|WAI}}</ref>
