Minecraft:Water Bucket

Template:Infobox item A water bucket is a Minecraft:bucket filled with Minecraft:water.

Obtaining

Interacting

To fill an empty Minecraft:bucket with water, Template:Control it on a Minecraft:water source block. The water is consumed in the process. Flowing water does not fill a bucket.

Template:Control 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 smelting process completes, which also leaves the sponge dry and ready to be reused.

Smelting

If an empty bucket is in the fuel slot of a Minecraft:furnace when a wet sponge finishes 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 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

Template:Control a water bucket on a solid block places a water source block against that block, emptying the bucket; using a water bucket on a 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 water bucket clutchs to remove 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 fish, axolotl or tadpole to create a bucket of aquatic mob.

Transportation

Template:Main 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.
