Lava Buckets are Items that were added in Update 0.7.0. Lava Buckets are used to carry Lava from place to place.
Obtaining[]
Lava Buckets are obtained when the Player taps Lava with a Bucket selected in the hotbar.
Usage[]
A Lava Bucket can be used as Fuel in a Furnace, where it will smelt up to 100 items. When it has burned empty, the Player can collect the Bucket.
Lava Buckets can be used in a Dispenser, where a Button or Redstone pulse will switch the state to enable/disable the flow of Lava from the Dispenser.
When placing the Lava Bucket in a 1 Block wide trench Lava will flow for 4 blocks at the same level. If there is a drop, it will continue flowing.
When placing Lava on top of Water, it will create Cobblestone.
Trivia[]
- Lava Buckets can be used as a weapon as well. This can be done by placing it down between the Player and a pursuing Hostile Mob, burning and quickly killing the Mob on contact.
- The Player can create a Lava blade using a trench, and ending the trench with Iron Bars. Wooden alternatives, like Signs and Ladders, will catch fire.
- However, placing string around the Signs or Ladders will save it from setting alight.
- Lava, like Water, can only be collected from Buckets through the source block.
