How to get a Bucket of Cod in Survival Mode

You can add a bucket of cod to your inventory in Survival mode by catching a cod in a water bucket. So let’s get started!

1. Find a Cod

First, you need to find a cod in your Minecraft world.

Cod can usually be found in the Cold Ocean, Lukewarm Ocean, Deep Lukewarm Ocean, and Deep Ocean biomes.

Lukewarm Ocean

Deep Lukewarm Ocean

Deep Ocean

2. Hold a Water Bucket

Next, select a water bucket in your hotbar so that you are holding it in your hand.

3. Use the Water Bucket on the Cod

While in front of the cod, use the water bucket on the cod. The game control to catch the cod in the water bucket depends on the version of Minecraft:

For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the cod.
For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the cod.
For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the cod.
For Education Edition, right click on the cod.

It may take several attempts to catch the cod in the water bucket. When you successfully catch the cod, you will see the message “Bucket of Cod” appear on the screen and your bucket will look like it has a cod inside. This cod is still alive and can be released from the bucket whenever you want. This is a great way to move cod around in the game.

Congratulations, you have made a bucket of cod in Minecraft!
