Water Bucket

A water bucket is a bucket filled with water. It can be used to displace water or scoop up certain aquatic mobs.

To fill an empty bucket with water, use it on a water source block. The water is consumed in the process. Flowing water does not fill a bucket.

Using an empty bucket on a cauldron filled with water (water level 3) empties the cauldron and fills the bucket.
