Buckets are tools which are used to carry liquids like water or lava and are crafted from Steel Ingots. They never wear off.

By default, these are the available buckets (mods may introduce other liquids which can be collected by the bucket):

	Name		Contains	Stackable	Itemstring
	Empty Bucket		Nothing	Yes (99)	bucket:bucket_empty
	Water Bucket		Water	No	bucket:bucket_water
	River Water Bucket		River Water	No	bucket:bucket_river_water
	Lava Bucket		Lava	No	bucket:bucket_lava

To collect a liquid, wield an empty bucket, point to the liquid and punch. To release a liquid, wield the filled bucket, point to the desired location and click with the right mouse button.

Collecting a liquid usually removes the liquid source block (i.e. it turns into air). The exception is river water: If you collect river water from a river water source which has at least one other river water source next to it (horizontally), the river water source is not removed. Only if the river water source is “lonely”, it will be removed.

Lava buckets can be used as a very efficient fuel. Don’t worry, you’ll keep the bucket.
