Fishing¶
Rods¶
Mariculture's rods all catch better than the vanilla rod, and each takes its own baits. Put bait in the rod's inventory; most bait comes from the Sifter.
| Picture | Rod | Lasts | Baits |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Reed Fishing Rod | 96 casts | ant, bread, grasshopper |
 |
Wooden Fishing Rod | 320 casts | grasshopper, maggot, worm |
 |
Titanium Fishing Rod | 640 casts | worm, bee, minnow |
 |
Flux Rod | never wears out | every bait; 100 FE a cast, holds 250,000 FE |
Some fish only bite on a good enough rod: Fish and breeding lists the lowest rod for each.
In the Nether a Mariculture hook floats on lava, and fish bite there too.
How fast fish bite is set by fishing_speed_multiplier in the config, and per rod by a
datapack.
Salt and heat¶
Every fish likes its own
water. Two things matter:
| What | How it is set |
|---|---|
| Salinity | fixed by the biome: fresh, brackish or saline |
| Temperature | starts from the biome and changes with height, weather, the sun and light |
The Aquatic Environment Analyser shows both where you stand.
| Biome | Water | Temperature (°C) |
|---|---|---|
| Beach | brackish | 25 |
| Desert | fresh | 45 |
| Extreme Hills | fresh | 5 |
| Forest | fresh | 10 |
| Frozen Ocean | saline | -1 |
| Frozen River | fresh | -1 |
| Ice Plains | fresh | -1 |
| Jungle | fresh | 25 |
| Mushroom Island | fresh | 15 |
| Nether | fresh | 80 |
| Ocean | saline | 4 |
| Plains | fresh | 10 |
| River | fresh | 10 |
| The End | fresh | 3 |
| Swamp | fresh | 8 |
| Taiga | fresh | 1 |
Wild fish¶
These bite in the wild. Every other species has to be bred.
| Picture | Fish | Water | Height | Temperature (°C) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Minnow | fresh | Y 70 and up | -1 to 45 |
 |
Cod | saline | any | -3 to 20 |
 |
Sting Ray | brackish | any | 19 to 29 |
 |
Squid | saline | any | 3 to 20 |
 |
Damselfish | fresh | any | 22 to 27 |
 |
Neon Tetra | fresh | any | 20 to 28 |
 |
Spiderfish | fresh | below Y -48 | -5 to 20 |
 |
Silver-Stripe Blaasop | saline | below Y -16 | -3 to 5 |
 |
Netherfish | the Nether | any | 45 to 100 |
 |
Nightfish | the End, or at night | any | -10 to 66 |
Goldfish, Cod, Walleye and the other wild species in the species table bite wherever their water suits them.
Odd catches¶
| Picture | Catch | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Zombies | sometimes spawn with a fishing rod or a bucket hat and can drop them | |
 |
Rockhoppers | penguins on cold shores. Feed them fish to tame them; it works about one time in three. |
