Alex "Raoom" Sukhanov Hello, adventurers and masters of cubic worlds! If you've already delved into the incredible world of Minecraft, you've likely encountered situations where you need to transport liquids somehow. For example, you might need to collect water for your farm or bring some lava as a better fuel for your furnace. However, digging a trench all the way to your house and letting the water flow through it won't work. So, what should you do?

You need a bucket! But if this is your first time encountering this useful tool, don’t worry — I’ll explain how to create and use it to its full potential.
How to make a bucket in Minecraft?
Don’t underestimate this handy piece of iron. This thing will come in handy in many situations, as it can generate an infinite water source. Yes, you heard that right — a waterfall from just one bucket. You can even create a real volcanic eruption, as an item of lava can also serve as an endless source.
I see you’re eager to get started. So, let’s dive in! First, you need resources. Grab a pickaxe and head underground in search of metal. If you don’t know how to craft a pickaxe yet, I’ve explained everything in detail in this guide.

First, you’ll need three iron ingots. You can find iron ore at various levels underground, most commonly in caves. Break the ore with a pickaxe (at least a stone one), and then smelt it in a furnace to get iron ingots.

Great, the ingots are ready. Now, let’s move on to the next step and open the crafting table.

To create a bucket in Minecraft, place three iron ingots in a "V" shape on the crafting grid. Place two ingots on the sides of the middle row and one in the center of the bottom row. Cool! Your item is ready.
Why do you need a bucket in Minecraft?
Now that you have it, let’s explore its uses. Trust me, this tool will become your best friend in the world of blocks.
One of the most popular uses for a thing is to transport water. Take water from a river or lake and create your own reservoirs. This will help you grow crops, build traps, or simply decorate your world.

Some enthusiasts even create transportation networks using handmade canals! It looks really cool, and at times, this method is much cheaper than building a railroad.
A bucket of water can also save a player's life when exploring caves. As you venture deeper, you’re bound to encounter lava, which is very dangerous. Sometimes, you need to act within seconds, and water can be your savior.

Lava cools down and solidifies into strong obsidian, which Steve can safely walk on.
You can also use the item for lava. Collect lava in the bucket and use it as a fuel source in the furnace or create your own lava lake to protect your base.

But be careful — lava in a bucket is just as dangerous.
