The bug
In creative or spectator mode, if you are too close to pufferfish mobs, they will attack you and give you poison effect. Invisibility doesn't help, either.

Affects 18w09a

Affects 18w11a

Still in 18w14b

No longer appear to give poison to players on creative as of 18w16a, but still expand.
Invisible players will still get hurt by inflated puffer fishes if they get too close, that's WAI.

Still affects 18w19b

Please reopen.

Also still affects 18w20a

Appears to be fixed in 18w20b. Note that pufferfish can still damage invisible players and that's WAI.

This STILL seems to be affecting 18w20c. Creative mode, by the way.
I'm not able to reproduce this in 18w20c.
If you can reproduce, please tell us what you did to reproduce this.
Please keep in mind that invisible players in survival mode should still get poisoned:
Invisible players will still get hurt by inflated puffer fishes if they get too close, that's WAI.

Simply by being in Creative mode and approaching a pufferfish. This has definitely been fixed for spectator mode though.
I wasn't able to reproduce it that way.

Definitely weird. Were your pufferfish created from a spawn egg, or natural?
Tried with naturally spawned pufferfish, spawned by spawn eggs, and spawned by fish buckets. None of them attacked (poisoned) me.
However, the pufferfish still bloated up when you're near them in Creative mode, but that would be a different issue imo. Maybe you meant that?

That's what I'm referring to.
Alright, I created MC-126085 for the bloating.

Think you mean MC-129884?
Of course, my clipboard did silly things.
