When making a bucket, it is important that the iron ingots are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the first box and 1 iron ingot in the third box. In the second row, there should be 1 iron ingot in the middle box.

Congratulations, you have made a bucket in Minecraft!
Empty buckets will stack in your inventory; buckets filled with a liquid will not.
Use a bucket to gain a pocket of air when underwater. Right click while holding the empty bucket and your character will get a temporary pocket of air forming around its head. This will last until the air meter is replenished. This can be used repeatedly if there is a block nearby; empty the bucket onto the block by right clicking, then breathe again. Keep using as long as required to remain underwater.
