Usage

Filling

An empty bucket used on a source of water or lava within 5 blocks takes the source, and becomes a water bucket or a lava bucket. It reaches through flowing water and lava, and never takes them.

Used on a cow, an empty bucket becomes a bucket of milk.

Emptying

A full bucket used on a block within 5 blocks empties into the space against the face it points at, and becomes an empty bucket:

  • A water bucket places a water source. In the Nether, the water fizzes away and places nothing.
  • A lava bucket places a lava source.
  • A bucket of milk pours it away, and places nothing.

The space must hold air, a fluid, a ladder, sugar cane, or one of the blocks that fluid flows into. A block there is replaced, and drops nothing.
