Description

Pufferfish Spawn Egg instantly creates a pufferfish at the targeted position and is available from the Creative inventory in Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions. The egg has no crafting recipe and cannot normally be obtained in Survival mode. A spawned pufferfish behaves like a naturally generated one: it swims in water, inflates when a player or many non-aquatic mobs approach, and can poison nearby players on contact while enlarged.

Pufferfish Spawn Egg is useful for testing aquariums, mob behavior, poison mechanics, underwater builds, and custom maps without searching warm or lukewarm oceans. Use the egg directly on water or inside a prepared tank so the pufferfish does not remain stranded on land. Dispensers can also release the egg and create a pufferfish, which allows controlled demonstrations and redstone-powered map events.
