Overview
A pufferfish inflates in two stages when any player or mob comes close, and touching it while inflated deals damage and inflicts Poison, so it is one of the few passive mobs that can actually kill you. It is the key ingredient in Water Breathing potions, which makes it worth bucketing rather than killing. Eating one raw is a bad idea: Nausea, Poison and Hunger all at once.
Pufferfish is a passive mob in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. You will need to deal 3 damage — 1.5 hearts — to kill one. Its attacks do 2 damage on Normal.
Killing one drops 3 experience.
