Cod

Cod are common passive aquatic mobs found in oceans.

Spawning
Cod spawn underwater in normal, cold, and lukewarm oceans, in groups of 3-6. Cod need 2 water blocks to spawn.

Drops
Cod drop the following upon death:


 * 1 raw cod (1 cooked cod if killed while on fire)
 * 1-3 experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Behavior
Cod tend to swim in schools (a maximum of nine cod per school).

The player may collect a cod by using a water bucket on it, which gives the player a bucket of fish. Cod placed with buckets do not despawn naturally. When that fish bucket is used on a block, it empties the bucket, placing water with the cod swimming in it.

Weaknesses
A cod cannot survive outside of water. Outside of water, they flip around on their sides like guardians for a while trying to get back into the water until, after 10 seconds of time, they eventually start taking suffocation damage and die like squid. They cannot swim or breathe in cauldron water. They can swim in, but cannot survive in waterlogged blocks, most noticeably waterlogged slabs and stairs.
