The bug
It is possible to use a water bucket above Y=256 or below Y=0 in the nether. No water will be placed, but particles will be displayed and the bucket will be emptied. Normally, it shouldn't be possible to use an item like this outside of the buildable world area.
How to reproduce
Obtain a water bucket
Enter the nether, and go below the bedrock floor
Use the water bucket against the bedrock
❌ Particles are displayed, and the bucket is emptied
