Powder Snow Bucket

Powder Snow Bucket
Rarity tier	; Common
Renewable	Yes
Stackable	No

A powder snow bucket is a bucket filled with powder snow, which is the only way to carry it as an item.

Obtaining

Interacting

A powder snow bucket can be obtained by using an empty bucket on a powder snow block or powder snow cauldron.

Obtainable by placing an empty cauldron when it is snowing, and when filled can be collected with a bucket.

Usage

Pressing use while holding a powder snow bucket places a powder snow block. Powder snow may also be placed inside empty cauldrons, creating powder snow cauldrons.

Dispensers can also create and place powder snow buckets. However, they cannot do so with cauldrons.

Powder snow can be placed while falling to cushion falls, even in the Nether.

If you have two buckets of powder snow you can place one stand on top of it and place the other. Then, carefully stand on the edge (don't crouch or you will sink) and pick up the bottom block in your bucket. Repeat this process and you will be able to tower infinitely. Make sure you are wearing leather boots so you do not sink.
