The bug

Water and lava buckets can no longer be emptied by looking at a water or lava source block. However, when trying to do that, a sound still plays.

To reproduce

  1. Get a water bucket

  2. Switch into Survival mode

  3. Look at a water source block

  4. Use the bucket
    → ❌ The bucket doesn't get emptied, but a sound gets played

Can confirm. This happens because you can no longer empty buckets by looking at a source block of that block.

Cameron McAllister

Is that a feature? Seems like a downgrade. It is annoying to not be able to empty a bucket into a source block, and rather place the water from the bucket outside and place a block to get rid of it. Fairly frustrating.

I see where you’re coming from, but I suppose this feature makes sense.
Maybe a suggested fix is to make you able to place the water on top of the source block

There's no way this is a feature. It was not listed in the changelog and it only makes building with water even more annoying. Nothing changed specifically for buckets or their interactions with liquids in this snapshot.

Matthew Lanigan

As far as I can tell, there was nothing in the changelog about this, but source analysis shows there were some minor changes to the bucket fluid placing behavior. A likely culprit is that placing the fluid now returns the result of attempting to set the block state, where before it did not.

Since the block state doesn't actually change, the fluid placement now fails.

Not sure if this was true previously, but as of 20w19a, I am able to empty a bucket into a bubble column, but still not normal water source blocks.

also cant empty water bucket on redstone ore unless your shifting so its probably a bug with the water bucket

@unknown, that's a separate bug, MC-165510.

This issue is also with buckets containing fish (Tropical, Cod, Salmon). The same issue persists and the bucket does not empty nor does the fish get released.
