Milk Bucket

Milk is found in Alpha and Beta mode. It is obtained from cows by using (i.e., right-clicking) a bucket on a cow.

A bucket of milk however currently serves no purpose, although it is speculated to be a food in a future update. Once milk is in a bucket the only way to remove it from the bucket is to dump the contents on to the ground. When dumped, Milk will not act as Water, but rather disappear. Every cow can be milked multiple times.

On the 10 of January, 2011, Notch said on his blog that he has created the update for cake. In order to make cake, it requires three buckets of milk, three wheat items, and three Sugar Cane blocks.

The update will go into effect on the 13 of January, 2011.
