Uses of Buckets in Minecraft

Buckets can be used to carry water, lava, powdered snow, milk, tropical fish, cod, pufferfish, salmon, and axolotls. When picking up live animals the same animal will appear when you place the bucket to get rid of the items inside. You must have water in a bucket to pick up live animals. Lava buckets can be used for traps, and water and powdered snow buckets can be used to mlg (save you from a fatal fall). Milk can be used to get rid of potion effects.
