A bucket of water is created when a bucket is used to act on water of sufficient depth.
Appearance
A bucket of water looks, properly enough, like a bucket nearly filled with water—if that water were a pale blue in color.
Where Found
A bucket of water can be acquired when a blockhead collects water using a tin bucket.
Crafting
A bucket of water is specified for several useful crafting recipes. Some will return an empty bucket, while others will consume the bucket as well.
When crafting yeast, dough, clay, plaster, coffee, or dyeing clothing, the bucket will not be consumed and be returned.

Uses
Applying a bucket of water to an empty block (with or without a back wall) will empty the bucket and create a block of water at that position. Once placed, the water will behave according to its surroundings, typically flowing to the lowest empty point confined by solid blocks. This is the easiest process for transporting non-ice water to a new location.
Filling and emptying a bucket of water in a confined space is part of one method to generate water.
If a bucket of water is emptied onto a campfire or an uncontrolled fire, the fire will be put out.
If a bucket of water is emptied onto ice, the water will likely freeze immediately into another block of ice.
If a bucket of water is emptied in space, it will immediately freeze into ice, allowing structures to be built there without having to build up first.
