• 1–3XP experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Behavior

Cod tend to swim in schools with a maximum of 9 cod per school.

The player may collect a cod by using a water bucket on it, which gives the player a bucket of cod. 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.

Cod cannot be bred, but only spawn in designated biomes.

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 start taking suffocation damage and die. In Bedrock Edition, fish out of water rotate while flipping. They cannot swim or breathe in cauldron water.^[1] They can swim in, but cannot survive in waterlogged blocks, most noticeably waterlogged slabs and stairs.

In Java Edition, cod are vulnerable to weapons that have the Impaling enchantment, which also affects other fish and aquatic mobs except drowned.

Axolotls always attack cods on sight but they will not attack another cods for a few times after that.
