How To Summon A Pufferfish Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to summon a pufferfish with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
You can summon a pufferfish whenever you want using a cheat (game command) in Minecraft. This is done using the /summon command. When you summon a pufferfish, you will get a pufferfish that is alive and swims around in the water.
Let’s explore how to do this.
Requirements
To run game commands in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world.
Summon Command
Summon Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)
In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac), the syntax to summon a pufferfish using the /summon command is:
/summon pufferfish [pos] [nbt]
Definitions
- pos is optional. It is the x y z coordinate where the pufferfish should spawn. If no coordinate is specified, the pufferfish will spawn in the current location.
- nbt is optional. It is a compound NBT tag (formerly called data tag) that sets a property for the pufferfish such as {CustomName:”\”Spike\””} or {Health:5.0f}. See NBT tags for pufferfish.
Examples
Example in Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Once the cheat has been entered, the pufferfish will spawn and appear in your world:
You will see the message “Summoned new Pufferfish” appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the pufferfish has been summoned. You may need to look behind you to see it.
