Overview
Pufferfish is a food item in the Food category of Minecraft, obtained through fishing and killing pufferfish. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Pufferfish. Eating it restores 1 hunger (0.5 drumsticks) and 0.2 saturation points. This item was added to the game in version 1.7.2.
In this database, Pufferfish sits alongside 36 other Food entries, each with its own page. Restoring 1 hunger and 0.2 saturation, Pufferfish keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue; higher saturation means you stay full for longer before needing to eat again.
