A bujurqui is a common ⭐☆☆☆ fish caught by fishing in tropical freshwater and brackish water. It cooks into cooked fish, and a Fisherman buys 12 of them for an Obol.
Obtaining
Fishing
The bujurqui can be caught in these climate tables.[1] [2] The chances are per cast of a fishing rod and include the junk and treasure rolls.
| Climate | Biomes | Weight | Per catch (open water) | Per catch (other water) | Per catch (Luck of the Sea III) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tropical freshwater | Jungle, Sparse Jungle, Bamboo Jungle | 15 of 42 | 30.36% | 31.95% | 30.19% |
| Brackish water | Mangrove Swamp, Swamp | 15 of 42 | 30.36% | 31.95% | 30.19% |
The same tables are also rolled by the fisherman's house chest in villages and by the elder guardian's drops, using the biome at the chest or where the elder guardian dies.

Usage
Food
Raw fish can be eaten, but it heals nothing: Matcha Flavoured removes hunger, and food only heals through the hearts shown on its tooltip. Cooked, it becomes cooked fish, which heals 4 (
× 2).
Cooking
The recipes match any minecraft:cod, so every small fish gives the same result.[3] A Mud Kiln burns it into charred fish instead.
Crafting ingredient
Because it is a cod underneath, it can be used wherever a raw cod is accepted: the green curry stock recipe takes any cod or salmon.[4]
Trading
The Fisherman buys 12 caught bujurqui for 1 Obol once he reaches Apprentice level. Only fish caught by fishing (with the ⭐☆☆☆ line) are accepted.[5]
Trading
| Villager | Level | Wants | Gives |
|---|---|---|---|

Angler's Almanac
The Angler's Almanac has an entry for the bujurqui under Tropical Freshwater (listed chance 35.7%) and Brackish (listed chance 35.7%), unlocked by catching one while the almanac tab is open.[6] Its description reads:
A South American cichlid proving once again that small fish can have absolutely enormous personalities.
Advancements
- No More Fish in the Sea – catch every fish, including this one. Rewards 10 Obols.
- Fishmonger – sell caught fish to a Fisherman.
History
| 0.5-alpha | Fishing overhauled into climates with star-rated fish. |
|---|---|
| 1.10 | The Fisherman now buys 12 instead of 24.
Now actually caught in tropical freshwater; the arid freshwater table used to override it. |
| 1.12.1-alpha | Added an Angler's Almanac entry and a catch sound.
The item format changed; fish caught before this version can no longer be sold. |
Trivia
- The fish is a
minecraft:coditem with the name, texture (matcha:bujurqui) and rarity line set by its loot table.[7]
