Am I just out of luck? They dont drop them at a low surface level or out of water or in deep _cold_ocean? What am I not seeing?
No, I am not using any mods or datapacks. The world was created some time ago, though.
[media]This seems to be an issue again (Minecraft version: Minecraft Java 1.16.3 - latest version, 14.09.2020), My guardian farm uses fall damage and alternatively I use a looting III sword, but neither method gives the rare clownfish/pufferfish drops. I got 2 doublechests full of cod, so far.
I think I remember a long time ago, when I built the farm, I killed a guardian that had a pufferfish drop. Are guardian drops from guardians that are spawned with the world on chunk creation different from those drops from guardians that are spawned later?
Same problem (minecraft singleplayer, went down from view range of 13 chunks to 10 chunks and still encountered this issue). For me, mob spawning during night seems to be issued as well (hard mode, almost no mobs when running during night) - maybe the same root cause?
Aaah, ok - this was not properly mentioned in the wiki:
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Guardian
"Guardians also have a 2.5% chance of dropping a random fish as an extra drop in addition to the normal fish drop. This chance is increased by 1% per Looting level, for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III. This drop uses the same chances that fishing uses, resulting in a 60% chance for raw cod, a 25% chance for raw salmon, a 13% chance for pufferfish, and a 2% chance for tropical fish. A guardian on fire drops cooked fish."
For this reason I thought the drop chance was active for environment kills, too. I'll make the according change in the wiki, thanks for the info - I gave the swordkilling another chance and playerkills are indeed working to drop pufferfish, it seems I just didnt kill enough by hand the first try.
By the way, the pufferfish still is the hardest-to-farm - or at least the most-boring-to-farm brewing material in Minecraft singleplayer. I hope my guardian farm can change this once I optimized it for hand-made-kills. EDIT: It cant. Guardians or hoppers, I dont know what, is causing the framerate to go down tremendously unfortunately. Back to the fishing rod zZz.
