About

Pufferfish are a stackable consumable item in Minecraft, caught by fishing in any water body or obtained by killing pufferfish mobs. They stack to 64 and are spawnable via the give command with the namespace ID minecraft:pufferfish.

Eating raw pufferfish poisons the player and applies the Hunger effect, making them impractical as food. Their primary use is as an ingredient in Awkward Potions to brew the Water Breathing potion, essential for extended underwater exploration. Pufferfish can also be cooked into Cooked Pufferfish, though this removes their brewing utility without making them palatable.
