It seems that it's impossible to do so. But in case of using Water Bucket on a Cauldron with Lava / Powder Snow there is no problems with that, as Water successfully replaces Lava / Powder Snow.

Because it is already possible to use Water Buckets to replace the source. Why wouldn't it be possible to use both Buckets and Bottles then?
Hey there!
Judging by the information you've provided in the description, does MC-204118 describe your issue?
Yes, Avoma. It seems that it is the same issue as the MC-204118.
Why would it be possible?
