A milk bucket[a] is a drink obtained from using a bucket on cows, mooshrooms and goats that can be consumed to clear all effects.
Obtaining
Harvesting
Milk buckets can be obtained from cows, mooshrooms, and goats by pressing use while looking at them with an empty bucket.
Mob loot
A milk bucket has a chance of dropping from a wandering trader, if the trader is killed while holding it.[Java Edition only]
Usage
Holding use with a milk bucket starts the drinking sound and animation. In Java Edition, the animation is shown only in first-person camera mode.
When consumed, milk immediately removes all status effects from the player. Fire is not a status effect; therefore, drinking milk doesn't extinguish a burning player.
The benefits of area status effects granted by beacons and conduit power are restored almost immediately in Bedrock Edition and after a few seconds in Java Edition.
