when holding a bucket, I stand at the earth block next to water, and when I right click, no water shows up in the bucket. This problem showed up after I was re-incarnated from getting burned up in lava. I had a bucket of water, but couldn't dump it quick enough.

yes

Switching to survival mode solved the problem. (my bad...)
Were you in creative mode?
