How to Get a Pufferfish in Minecraft

Pufferfish can be found in warm oceans and rivers. To catch one more quickly, consider the following tips:

• Warm Ocean: This is the main biome where Pufferfish spawn. You can recognize it by its light blue water and the presence of coral reefs.

• Rivers: Occasionally, Pufferfish can also appear here, though less frequently than in oceans.

Pufferfish can be caught using a fishing rod. Here are the basic steps:

1. Crafting a Fishing Rod To craft a fishing rod, you need 3 sticks and 2 strings. Arrange them on the crafting table as follows:
   

2. Enhancing the Fishing Rod To improve your chances of success, enchant your fishing rod using an enchanting table. Useful enchantments include:

   • Lure: Speeds up the bite rate.

   • Luck of the Sea: Increases the chances of catching rare items, including Pufferfish.

3. Fishing Process

   • Find a water body suitable for fishing, preferably in a warm ocean.

   • Cast your fishing rod and wait for the bobber to move. Once it does, quickly right-click to reel in your catch.

If you want to transport a Pufferfish alive, use a bucket:

1. Craft a bucket from 3 iron ingots.
   
   

2. Locate a Pufferfish in the water (e.g., in a warm ocean).

3. Approach the fish and right-click it with the bucket. You will now have a "Pufferfish in a Bucket" in your inventory.

This method is convenient if you want to transfer the fish to an aquarium or use it for decorative purposes.

If you need to obtain a Pufferfish as an item rather than alive, you can kill it. When killed, a Pufferfish drops:

• 1 raw Pufferfish.

To kill the fish:

• Use a sword or trident for efficiency.

• Be cautious: Pufferfish inflate and can poison you when attacked.

Pufferfish have several uses in Minecraft:

• Potion of Water Breathing: This is the primary reason players seek Pufferfish. To create the potion, add a Pufferfish to an Awkward Potion using a brewing stand.

• Cat Food: Pufferfish can be used to tame or feed cats.

• Aquarium Decoration: A live Pufferfish in a bucket is an excellent addition to an aquarium.
