Bucket

Buckets are tools used for carrying water, lava, milk, or Dragon Eggs as of pre release 6. Water and lava buckets can only be obtained by using the bucket on a source block; shallow, running fluids cannot be collected. Milk buckets are collected by using the bucket on a cow.

If one is under water and moving forward, filling an empty bucket will create a momentary air pocket. This is enough to refill the player's air meter, allowing them to stay under water indefinitely. To reuse the bucket just dump out the water.

Buckets can be found in dungeons. There is an 80% chance of finding one bucket in a dungeon chest block.

Usage
A "Bucket" is a tool that can be used for transporting or storing water, milk, dragon Egg or lava. Water buckets can be used to extinguish fires in an emergency, and to drain and fill lakes. Buckets can also be used as a scuba diving tool. By pointing directly down and filling the bucket the player will be surrounded by air for a short time, thus filling the player's air meter.

Types of buckets

 * Water bucket - holds one water source block
 * Lava bucket - holds one lava source block
 * Milk bucket - used to make cake. Milk can be used to cure poison and immediately stop potion effects.
