Here’s a typical scenario in Minecraft: You spend a considerable amount of time searching for the perfect location to build your home, looking for picturesque landscapes and convenient surroundings. Finally, you find it! You start constructing your new abode and transport all your belongings (perhaps with the help of a donkey or mule) to settle into your new spot. Everything seems great until your stomach starts growling, reminding you that it’s time to eat, but there’s no food available! This means it’s time to create your own farm! Wait, there’s no water nearby—what now?
A bucket comes to the rescue! By combining three iron ingots at a crafting table, you can create a fantastic vessel for transporting any liquid or even raw fish—whatever your heart desires. Oh yes, I can imagine how much you crave that raw fish.
Interestingly, buckets were introduced in Minecraft Pocket Edition quite early, back in June 2010 during the Infdev version. Initially, they had limited functionality, allowing players only to collect water or lava. However, their capabilities expanded significantly over time.
To begin with, you can milk cows. Approach a cow, right-click on it, and you’ll receive a bucket of milk, which can be used to remove negative effects or bake a cake. Personally, I’d opt for the cake. Additionally, lava buckets can serve as fuel, and you can fill empty buckets with water by placing them in a furnace alongside a wet sponge.
The latest feature introduced in the Aquatic update is the fish bucket. This allows you to carry live fish in a bucket! In my opinion, this is one of the coolest additions ever made. Firstly, the animal can travel with you, and secondly, all fish, including tropical ones, retain their colors and patterns, enabling you to create an impressive aquarium where you can relax after a long day of fishing.
In the real world, these simple creations have existed since ancient times. The earliest buckets were likely made from animal hides. The word “bucket” itself dates back to the 13th century, derived from Old English “buc,” meaning “belly.”
The design we recognize today has its roots in medieval times. Craftsmen known as “Coopers” would insert wooden staves into metal hoops to form a bucket. Leather buckets were also popular in colonial America due to their lightweight and portability. However, the widespread use of metal buckets was hindered by rust until the galvanization process was discovered in 1837, which involved coating iron or steel with zinc.
You might think carrying lava in a bucket is impossible, unlike what you can do in Minecraft Bedrock. But that’s not true! Most lava emerges from the ground at temperatures between 700 and 1200 °C, while the melting point of iron and steel exceeds 1300 °C, making it feasible to carry lava in a bucket. I wouldn’t recommend trying this out personally, especially indoors. Although, if your house is filled with lava, maybe it’s time to consider whether everything is alright?
