Salmon

Salmon are a type of passive fish.

Spawning

Salmon spawn underwater in groups of 1-5. In Rivers, they can only spawn in there are less than 5 salmon within 32 blocks, while in Oceans they can only spawn if any ice blocks are above them. They only spawn within 1 block above sea level (Y=63) and 12 blocks below sea level (Y=50).

Salmon spawn in 3 different sizes, 34% Small (NBT 'Size' 1), 51% Normal (NBT 'Size' 2), and 15% Large (NBT 'Size' 3). Using /summon, the player can spawn salmon of any size between 0-255.

Drops

When killed, adult salmon drop:

• 1 Raw Salmon (1 Cooked Salmon if killed while on fire)
• 1–3 Exp when killed by a player or tamed wolf.
• 1 Bonemeal (5% chance)

Behavior

When outside of water, salmon flop about randomly. After 20 seconds outside of water, they will begin to suffocate.

Breeding

Salmon can be bred using any type of vanilla seeds.

Expansion⁽²⁾

When feeding a Salmon using any breeding items, they will grow in size. This growth changes their hitbox and visual size, but not their health.
