Catch Fish with a Wooden Bucket

Using Wooden Buckets for Fishing

Your wooden bucket can catch fish just like an iron bucket, giving you access to aquatic mobs and fish without needing advanced fishing rods or iron resources.

How to Catch Fish

1. Locate a water source with fish (rivers, lakes, or oceans)

2. Right-click on the water with your wooden bucket

3. The bucket will capture a fish

4. The bucket's durability decreases by one use

Durability Considerations

Each fish caught costs one durability point. With 25 total uses, plan your fishing carefully. If you need multiple fish for breeding or food, consider whether wooden buckets are the best tool or if you should invest in a fishing rod instead.

Tips

  • Use wooden buckets for fishing only when you need just a few fish
  • For large-scale fish farming, prioritize other methods
  • Combine fishing with water collection to maximize bucket efficiency
