Bucket

Buckets are tools used to carry water, lava, milk, powder snow, live fish (cod, pufferfish, salmon, and tropical fish), and axolotls.

Usage
Empty buckets can be used to "pick up" a water or lava source block by pressing item on a block of the relevant type.

Similarly one can press when looking at a cow, mooshroom, or goat to fill a bucket with milk.

Empty buckets can also be used to collect fish in buckets.

A bucket filled with a source block can then be used to place its source block contents in the empty block next to the side of the block the player is currently looking at, or replacing the block looked at for some replaceable blocks.

A bucket full of milk can only be emptied by drinking it or by using it in crafting a recipe (like cake).

An empty bucket can be used to empty a cauldron with water or lava, filling the bucket with the fluid. This does not work with dispensers.

An empty bucket can be used to collect powder snow, filling the bucket with powder snow. Emptying the powder snow bucket will place the powder snow block in the empty block next to the side of the block the player is currently looking at.
