A pufferfish is a common ⭐☆☆☆ fish caught by fishing in hot saltwater. It is the vanilla pufferfish with a rarity line. It cooks into cooked pufferfish, and a Fisherman buys 12 caught pufferfish for an Obol.
Obtaining
Fishing
The pufferfish can be caught in this table.[1] 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hot saltwater | Warm Ocean | 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
The pufferfish keeps the vanilla pufferfish's effects when eaten raw:
Poison II for 1:00,
Hunger III for 0:15 and
Nausea for 0:15. It heals nothing. Cooking it into cooked pufferfish removes the poison and adds Conduit Power.
Cooking
The recipes match any minecraft:pufferfish, so every pufferfish gives the same result.[2] A Mud Kiln burns it into charred fish instead.
Trading
The Fisherman buys 12 caught pufferfish for 1 Obol once he reaches Apprentice level. Only fish caught by fishing (with the ⭐☆☆☆ line) are accepted.[3]

Angler's Almanac
The Angler's Almanac has an entry for the pufferfish under Hot Saltwater (listed chance 35.7%), unlocked by catching one while the almanac tab is open.[4] Its description reads:
A normally small fish that turns into a spiky balloon the moment things get awkward.
Advancements
- No More Fish in the Sea – catch every fish, including this one. Rewards 10 Obols.
