What is Bucket of Pufferfish in Minecraft?
A Bucket of Pufferfish is a special item that allows you to capture and transport a live pufferfish. Pufferfish are unique defensive mobs found in the ocean. When a player or another mob gets close, they puff up and inflict a poison effect on anyone nearby. By catching one in a water bucket, you get a Bucket of Pufferfish. This lets you move this interesting creature from the ocean to a location of your choice. Players use the Bucket of Pufferfish for a few clever purposes. You can use it to create mob defense systems, as the released pufferfish will protect an area. It is also a required ingredient for brewing a Potion of Water Breathing, which is essential for long underwater explorations. It is a fun item for collectors and a useful tool for brewers.
How to get Bucket of Pufferfish in Minecraft
To get a Bucket of Pufferfish, you will need a bucket and a bit of bravery. First, craft a bucket using three iron ingots. You can get iron by mining iron ore and smelting it in a furnace. Next, you need to find a pufferfish. Pufferfish spawn in warm, lukewarm, and deep lukewarm ocean biomes. They are usually found swimming alone or in small groups. Be careful when you approach them, as they will puff up and poison you if you get too close. The best way to catch one is to first make a water bucket by filling your bucket with water. Then, with the water bucket in hand, carefully approach a pufferfish and right click on it. This will safely scoop it into your bucket, transforming it into a Bucket of Pufferfish. You can now carry it without any danger.
How to use Bucket of Pufferfish in Minecraft
Using a Bucket of Pufferfish is simple. Hold the bucket and right click to release the pufferfish and a water source block. You can use this to create a defensive water trap. If you place the pufferfish in a one block wide channel of water, any mob that tries to pass through will trigger the pufferfish, get poisoned, and likely be defeated. This is a clever way to protect your base. The main use for a Bucket of Pufferfish, however, is in brewing. If you kill the pufferfish after releasing it, it drops a pufferfish item. This item is a key ingredient for brewing a Potion of Water Breathing. You can also just use the pufferfish item directly from your inventory if you get it from fishing, but catching it with a bucket is a guaranteed way to get one.
