Contents
Obtaining[edit]
Fishing[edit]
The easiest way to obtain pufferfish is fishing. The pufferfish catch rate can be increased by Lure (which reduces wait time) and decreased by Luck of the Sea (which increases treasure, decreases fish).
Mob drops[edit]
Guardians and Elder Guardians[edit]
Guardians and elder guardians drop a random fish as a rare drop besides the common raw fish drop. This has a 13% chance of being pufferfish. The chance of getting a fish can be increased with looting, but the type of fish is not affected.
Fish[edit]
Pufferfish mobs will always drop 1 pufferfish in its item form when killed.
Usage[edit]
Food[edit]
Pufferfish restores 1 () and 0.2 saturation, and inflicts Hunger III for 15 seconds, Poison IV for 1 minute, and Nausea II for 15 seconds. Unlike rotten flesh, it is not helpful to eat pufferfish while starving because they inflict more health damage than they earn.
Ocelots[edit]
Pufferfish can be used to tame ocelots, get cats off of chests, beds, etc., breed cats, and make baby cats grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.[Java and Legacy Console editions only]

Trivia[edit]
- The consumption of pufferfish inflicting the player with nausea and poison is actually based on reality, as real pufferfish contain the extremely dangerous toxin Tetrodotoxin within their organs, especially their liver. Tetrodotoxin leads to quick death through respiratory paralysis. Muscle tissue and blood only 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 would have to have special licensing/certification to prepare this dish.
