What is Bucket of Cod in Minecraft?

A Bucket of Cod is an item in Minecraft that lets you catch and carry a live cod fish. It is essentially a portable fish tank. Instead of just getting a fish item when you catch a cod, using a water bucket allows you to capture the living mob itself. This is great for players who want to create their own aquariums, ponds, or fish farms. With a Bucket of Cod, you can transport fish from the ocean and release them into a body of water at your base. This adds a lot of life and movement to your builds, making them feel more dynamic and realistic. It is also a way to have a fresh source of fish without needing a fishing rod. The Bucket of Cod is a fun and creative tool for builders and collectors.

How to get Bucket of Cod in Minecraft

Getting a Bucket of Cod is a straightforward process. First, you will need a bucket, which you can craft with three iron ingots. Mine some iron ore, smelt it in a furnace, and then arrange the three ingots in a V shape on a crafting table. Next, you need to find some cod. Cod are very common fish that can be found in most ocean biomes, including cold, temperate, and lukewarm oceans. You will see them swimming around in schools. Once you have found some cod, you need to fill your bucket with water to make a water bucket. Then, with the water bucket in your hand, approach a cod and right click on it. This will scoop up the cod into your bucket, and the item will transform into a Bucket of Cod. You can repeat this process to collect as many live cod as you want, as long as you have enough buckets.

How to use Bucket of Cod in Minecraft

Using a Bucket of Cod is very simple. Hold the bucket in your hand and right click on any block where you want to release the fish. This will place a water source block and the live cod will pop out, ready to swim around in its new environment. This is perfect for populating a custom built pond or a large aquarium in your base. You can create beautiful underwater scenes with live fish. If you release the cod into a small, enclosed area, you can easily kill it later to get a raw cod item for cooking, creating a simple fish farm. The Bucket of Cod is also useful for feeding axolotls, as they love to eat tropical fish and will also eat cod. It is a great item for adding detail to your world or for practical food production.

My Story

How This All Started

So basically, I was playing Minecraft one night after a long day doing deliveries, and I was trying to remember what drops what and how to craft certain things. Every website I went to was either dead slow, missing loads of stuff, or just looked terrible. I thought "bloody hell, surely I can do better than this?"

By the way, this My Story section is something new I've only just started adding things here! Most of the site was actually built before I ever wrote this part. Now that the website is live, I'm running into problems galore! So if things look a bit rough or unfinished, bear with me I'm updating and adding as I go.

That was probably a mistake.

A half finished story, oh well. I'll keep adding more as I go!

Learning the Hard Way

I knew absolutely nothing about making websites. Like, properly nothing. I didn't even know what PHP was. But I'm stubborn as anything, so I just started watching YouTube tutorials and reading random stuff online while I was on my breaks.

Turns out building a database is harder than it looks. Who knew? I've probably broken this thing more times than I've fixed it. My laptop has definitely been sworn at more than it deserves.

The worst part is when you spend hours trying to figure out why something doesn't work, and it turns out you missed a semicolon. Or when everything works fine on your computer but looks like complete rubbish on someone else's. Fun times.

The Reality of It

Look, I'm not gonna lie this has been a right pain sometimes. I work full time doing deliveries, so most of this gets done late at night when I should probably be sleeping. I've had way too many energy drinks and definitely not enough sleep.

The database has corrupted itself more times than I care to remember. I've had images that wouldn't load for no reason. CSS that worked yesterday but decided to have a tantrum today. The usual web development nightmare stuff.

But every time I get something working properly, it feels brilliant. Like when I finally got all the block images showing up correctly, or when the search actually started finding things. Small wins, but they keep me going.

What I Actually Want to Build

Here's the thing I want this to be your go to place for everything Minecraft. Not just blocks and items, but proper guides, build tutorials, maybe even schematics you can download. Server info, community stuff, the lot.

I know it doesn't look like much right now, and there's loads missing. But I'm working on it. It takes time when you're learning as you go and doing it around a full time job. But I'd rather take my time and do it properly than rush it and end up with something rubbish.

The plan is to make it the kind of site I actually want to use fast, easy to navigate, with everything you need in one place. No endless ads, no broken links, just useful stuff presented in a way that doesn't make you want to throw your computer out the window.

Why I Keep Going

Honestly? Because every time someone uses this site or gives me feedback, it reminds me why I started. I love Minecraft, I love building things (both in game and apparently websites), and I love the community.

Plus, I've learned loads doing this. Sure, I've wanted to give up more times than I can count, but seeing it slowly come together is pretty satisfying. And if it helps other people find what they're looking for without having to trawl through ten different outdated websites, then that's worth it.

So yeah, bear with me while I figure this all out. It's going to take a while, but it'll get there eventually. Thanks for checking it out, and if you spot anything broken or have suggestions, let me know. I'm still learning, but I'm determined to make this work.
