Minecraft:Pufferfish (item)

Template:Infobox item A pufferfish is a Minecraft:food item sourced from killed Minecraft:pufferfish. It is Minecraft:poisonous to Minecraft:players, but can be safely fed to Minecraft:dolphins, Minecraft:nautiluses and Minecraft:wolves. It is also a Minecraft:brewing ingredient for Minecraft:potions of Water Breathing.

Obtaining

Fishing

Template:Main Pufferfish are obtainable through fishing, with a 11.1% chance per attempt. See Minecraft:fishing for more details.

Template:IN, pufferfish cannot be caught in Minecraft:jungle, sparse jungle, or bamboo jungle biomes.

Usage

Food

Pufferfish restores Template:Hunger hunger and 0.2 saturation, but inflicts Hunger III for 15 seconds, Minecraft:Poison II for 1 minute, and Minecraft:Nausea I for 15 seconds. Unlike Minecraft:rotten flesh, it is not helpful to eat pufferfish while starving because they inflict more hunger than they earn.

Dolphins

A Minecraft:dolphin can be fed pufferfish to increase its trust of the player and cause it to interact with the player more often. However, unlike most other animal mobs, this does not cause them to breed. Additionally, pufferfish can be used to make baby dolphins grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Dolphins swim to the nearest chest in a Minecraft:shipwreck or Minecraft:underwater ruin after they are fed pufferfish. If the chest in the nearest structure is broken, they swim to another structure with a chest.

Dolphins are immune to the Nausea, Hunger and Poison effects.

Wolves

Pufferfish can be used to feed Minecraft:wolves, healing them by Template:Hp. However, Template:In, unlike other wolf food, pufferfish cannot be used to speed up the growth of baby wolves nor used to breed them and can only be fed to a wolf that is not at full health.

Wolves are immune to the Nausea, Hunger and Poison effects.

Nautilus

Template:Expand section Pufferfish can be used to tame Minecraft:nautilus and Minecraft:zombie nautilus, with each attempt having a 1/3 chance of suceeding.

History

Trivia

• The consumption of pufferfish inflicting the player with Nausea and Poison is based on reality. Real pufferfish contain the dangerous tetrodotoxin within their organs, especially in the liver. Tetrodotoxin leads to quick death through respiratory paralysis. Muscle tissue and blood 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 must have special licensing/certification to prepare this dish.
• Pufferfish being used for both creating water breathing potions and taming nautiluses is intentional as pufferfish are seen as the gateway to breathing underwater.<ref>Template:Ytl 5m51s.</ref>
