In Minecraft, a bucket of tadpole is a new item that was introduced in the Wild Update. It is a water bucket that has been filled with a tadpole that is still alive. This item can not be made with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

Let’s explore how to make a bucket of tadpole.

Required Materials to make a Bucket of Tadpole

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a bucket of tadpole:

How to get a Bucket of Tadpole in Survival Mode

You can add a bucket of tadpole to your inventory in Survival mode by catching a tadpole in a water bucket. So let’s get started!

1. Find a Tadpole

First, you need to find a tadpole in your Minecraft world.

Tadpoles hatch from frogspawn which is created in the game by breeding frogs.

2. Hold a Water Bucket

Next, select a water bucket in your hotbar so that you are holding it in your hand.

3. Use the Water Bucket on the Tadpole

While in front of the tadpole, use the water bucket on the tadpole. The game control to catch the tadpole in the water bucket depends on the version of Minecraft:

For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the tadpole.
For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the tadpole.
For Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
For PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the tadpole.

It may take several attempts to catch the tadpole in the water bucket. When you successfully catch the tadpole, you will see the message “Bucket of Tadpole” appear on the screen and your bucket will look like it has a tadpole inside. This tadpole is still alive and can be released from the bucket whenever you want. This is a great way to move a tadpole around in the game.

Congratulations, you have made a bucket of tadpole in Minecraft!
