What is Bucket in Minecraft?
A Bucket is one of the most versatile and essential tools in Minecraft. It is a simple metal container that you can use to carry liquids. The main use of a Bucket is to transport water and lava from one place to another. This is incredibly useful for a huge number of tasks, such as creating farms, making obsidian, building water elevators, or protecting your base with a moat. You can also use a Bucket to pick up milk from cows, mooshrooms, and goats. Milk is special because it can remove any potion effect, which is very helpful when you get hit with a negative effect from a witch or a cave spider. A Bucket can also be used to catch fish like cod, salmon, pufferfish, and tropical fish, as well as axolotls and tadpoles, allowing you to transport them alive. It is a simple but powerful tool.
How to get Bucket in Minecraft
Getting a Bucket is very easy and can be done early in the game. The only way to get a Bucket is by crafting it. To do this, you will need three iron ingots. Iron is a common resource that you can find by mining underground. Look for iron ore, which looks like stone with pinkish brown spots. You will need to mine the iron ore with at least a stone pickaxe. Once you have your iron ore, you need to smelt it in a furnace to turn it into iron ingots. You will need three iron ingots in total. Once you have them, open a crafting table. Place the three iron ingots in a V shape in the crafting grid. This means one ingot in the bottom center slot, and one on each side of the middle row. This recipe will give you one Bucket, ready to be filled.
How to use Bucket in Minecraft
Using a Bucket is very simple. To fill it with a liquid like water or lava, hold the empty Bucket in your hand and right click on the source block of the liquid. This will consume the source block and give you a Water Bucket or a Lava Bucket. To place the liquid, hold the filled bucket and right click on the spot where you want to place it. To get milk, hold an empty Bucket and right click on a cow, mooshroom, or goat. To catch an aquatic mob, right click on it with a Water Bucket. This will give you a Bucket of that mob, which you can then release in a new location by right clicking again. A Bucket is also used in a few crafting recipes, such as making a cake. It is a tool you will find yourself using constantly throughout your Minecraft journey.
