Materials Needed
Gather wood planks from any tree. You'll need enough planks to craft the bucket—wooden buckets require fewer resources than iron buckets, making them ideal for early-game water collection.
Crafting Steps
1. Open your crafting table
2. Arrange wooden planks in the bucket pattern (typically a 3×3 grid with the center empty, similar to the iron bucket recipe)
3. Drag the 
wooden bucket into your inventory
What You Can Do Now
Your new wooden bucket works like an iron bucket for most tasks: collect water from rivers and lakes, fill cauldrons, or water your crops. However, remember it has limited durability—use it wisely for essential tasks before it breaks. The wooden bucket is perfect for early survival when iron is scarce.
