Ever wondered how you can scoop up that glowing orange lava in Minecraft? You’re not alone! Many players look for ways to collect lava for their various in-game projects.

Let’s dive straight into how you can carry this hot liquid around in your Minecraft world.

Grabbing Lava with a Bucket

The short answer to collecting lava is: you need a bucket! Yes, that simple iron bucket can hold the blazing lava safely. First, you need to craft a bucket using three iron ingots. Once you’ve got your bucket ready, approach a lava source block.

Right-click on the lava source block with the bucket in hand (on PCs), tap on the block (on mobile devices), or press the left trigger (on consoles). Voilà! You’ve now picked up lava in your bucket. Remember, you can only pick up lava from a source block, not from flowing lava.
