Bucket

A Bucket is an open-topped container for liquids.

A Bucket can be filled with water at any convenient water source to create a Bucket of Water, or used as a crafting ingredient to produce a Bucket of Milk. To fill a bucket with water, place it in a hand and then use the appropriate action control (for example, left or right mouse button on PC) to activate the bucket against a water block. The only way to empty a bucket is to use it in a Machine to craft another item: if there is enough wear left on the bucket it will be returned empty in an output slot of the Machine.

A Bucket can be filled and emptied 10 times before it wears out. Empty buckets will only stack with other buckets with the same amount of wear, although a Smart Stack will hold stacks of varying amounts of wear. Full buckets will not stack with empty buckets.

The colour of a bucket is determined by the colour of the Timber used to craft it.
