Buckets are tools used for carrying water, lava or milk. Water and lava buckets can only be obtained by using the bucket on a spring block; the source of the water and not the runoff. The runoff tends to quickly disappear if used on water, but may be slower or not at all on lava (clarification needed). Milk buckets are collected by using the bucket on a cow.

Buckets are used to create infinite springs of water.

A water bucket can be used to extinguish the player if they are on fire. The water bucket must be used on the player to extinguish the flames.
