	“	You're not the only new explorer of the updated oceans, mind. We've filled the seas with new types of fish! Above is the delightful pufferfish, which filled me with delightful poison because I was too busy taking that screenshot to swim away in time :(	„

Cod are common passive mobs found in oceans.

Spawning

Java Edition

Cod spawn underwater 12-32 blocks away from the player in normal, cold, lukewarm oceans, and their deep variants, in groups of 3-6.

Bedrock Edition

Cod spawn underwater 12-32 blocks away from the player in normal, cold, frozen, lukewarm oceans, and their deep variants, in groups of 4-7.

Drops

Cod drop the following upon death:

• 1 raw cod (1 cooked cod if killed while on fire in Java Edition)
• 1 bone meal (5% chance)‌^{[Java Edition only]}
• 1–2 bones (25% chance)‌^{[Bedrock and Legacy Console editions only]}
• 1–2 experience orbs when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Behavior

Cod tend to swim in schools (a maximum of nine cod per school).

The player may collect a cod by using a water bucket on it, which gives the player a bucket of fish. Cod placed with buckets will not despawn naturally. When that fish bucket is used on a block, it empties the bucket, placing water with the cod swimming in it.

An empty bucket may be used as well.‌^{[Legacy Console and Bedrock editions only]}

Weaknesses

Cod are not able to survive outside of water. Outside of water, they flip around on their sides like guardians for a while trying to get back into the water until, after 10 seconds of time, they eventually start taking suffocation damage and die like squid. In Bedrock Edition and Legacy Console Edition, they will rotate when flipping when out of water. They cannot swim or breathe in cauldron water.

Cod are affected by the Impaling enchantment, like squid, turtles, guardians, elder guardians, dolphins, and all other types of fish (salmon, pufferfish, and tropical fish).‌^{[Java Edition only]}

History

Java Edition Alpha
June 28, 2010					Notch mentioned that fish might be a feature of coral, if he were able to add coral: "... I do know that the corals will have tiny fish particles around them."
October 4, 2010					Fish were a passive mob that Notch showed interest in adding. In the promotional graphic for the Halloween Update, Notch indicated he would add fish. However, they were only added as an item; there was no code for a fish mob.
Java Edition
October 5, 2012					Fish were jokingly teased in the fake snapshot 12marc40awesome, along with coral and "fish blocks".
April 13, 2013					When Jon Kågström was asked in his AMA on Reddit, "What mob would you like to implement into the game?" He responded, "I would like to add birds, fish and tree animals to make it more alive. However this will take some time before it can be done."
July 31, 2013					During Notch's AMA on Reddit, when asked about what happened to his plans of adding fish as a mob, he responded, "Oh yeah, the fish!"
