A fish is a passive mob that live in oceans. It comes in three variants: cod, salmon, and pufferfish. Each variant has their own spawn egg.
Spawning
Cod spawn in cold oceans, warm oceans, and lukewarm oceans. Puffer fish spawn in only lukewarm and warm oceans. Salmon spawn in frozen and cold oceans, and unlike the other two variants, can also spawn in rivers.
Drops
Fish will drop their item form when killed. For example, when a cod is killed, it will drop raw cod.
Behavior
All three types of fish are not able to survive out of water—if outside of water, they will flop around for a while, and will eventually die of suffocation damage. They are all passive in behaviour.
Cod and salmon tend to swim in groups of several fish (a maximum of nine cod or six salmon per shoal).
Puffer fish can puff up, and exists in 3 states (unpuffed, semi-puffed and fully puffed). Puffer fish are technically passive mobs, though they can actually kill an inexperienced player quite quickly without armour. Going near one when it puffs will inflict the player with seven seconds of poison, and touching them in their puffed form will deal a little damage, which can turn into a lot if a player tries to fight them with a sword. However, the puffer fish will never attempt to directly attack the player.
Salmon are able to jump up waterfalls.
Fish Bucket
A fish bucket is a water bucket filled with fish.
To fill a water bucket with fish, use it on a fish. Using a fish bucket will release the fish and water inside it.
The three variants of fish buckets correspond to the three variants of fish mobs. For example, a water bucket with a cod fish in it is called a cod bucket.
