Fishing

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Fishing

Pufferfish are obtainable through fishing, with a 11.1% chance per attempt. See fishing for more details.

In Bedrock Edition, pufferfish cannot be caught in jungle, sparse jungle, or bamboo jungle biomes.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Pufferfish restores 1 (πŸ‘ πŸ–
)
hunger and 0.2 saturation, but inflicts Hunger III for 15 seconds, Poison II for 1 minute, and Nausea I for 15 seconds. Unlike rotten flesh, it is not helpful to eat pufferfish while starving because they inflict more hunger than they earn.

Dolphins

[edit | edit source]

A dolphin can be fed pufferfish to increase its trust of the player and cause it to interact with the player more often. However, unlike most other animal mobs, this does not cause them to breed. Additionally, pufferfish can be used to make baby dolphins grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Dolphins swim to the nearest chest in a shipwreck or underwater ruin after they are fed pufferfish. If the chest in the nearest structure is broken, they swim to another structure with a chest.

Dolphins are immune to the Nausea, Hunger and Poison effects.

Wolves

[edit | edit source]

Pufferfish can be used to feed wolves, healing them by 2HPπŸ‘ ❀️
. However, in Bedrock Edition, unlike other wolf food, pufferfish cannot be used to speed up the growth of baby wolves nor used to breed them and can only be fed to a wolf that is not at full health.

Wolves are immune to the Nausea, Hunger and Poison effects.

Nautilus

This section needs expansion.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • The consumption of pufferfish inflicting the player with Nausea and Poison is based on reality. Real pufferfish contain the dangerous tetrodotoxin within their organs, especially in the liver. Tetrodotoxin leads to quick death through respiratory paralysis. Muscle tissue and blood contain trace amounts. In East Asia, pufferfish are considered a delicacy known as fugu, as small parts of the fish are actually edible. Any chef preparing fugu must have special licensing/certification to prepare this dish.
  • Pufferfish being used for both creating water breathing potions and taming nautiluses is intentional as pufferfish are seen as the gateway to breathing underwater.[3]
