Fishing

Fishing on OBMC works quite similar to fishing in Vanilla Minecraft. There are some exciting new custom features to learn about as well! Players fish for a variety of reasons on the server. Some fish for profit, some for fish contests; both of which we’ll discuss more. Many players also fish simply for leisure or as a social activity with friends!

## Getting Started

A basic, unenchanted fishing rod will be able to get you started, but you may eventually want to utilize a better rod. Some ways to get a new or better fishing rod are:

* Certain Monthly kits
* /fishmonger trades
* Buying from players /ah , /trades , or /pshops
* Enchanting with an Enchanting Table
* Utilizing Custom Enchants (on realms where applicable)

## Fishing Encyclopedia

Run the command /fishencyclopedia to receive the item. This enchanted book located in your inventory can be clicked to access your personal fishing statistics!

This encyclopedia includes a snapshot of each fish type in game, as well as your personal number caught since this feature was added in the September 2023 QOL update!

## Locations

You are able to access all parts of fishing wherever there is a body of water! This allows flexibility for players to fish wherever they see fit. Some common areas include /warp lagoon ; /warp fishing (pandora only) , or private island lakes.

## Fish & Loot

There are 5 tiers of fish that you can catch in OBMC. Vanilla, Common/Uncommon, Uncommon/Rare, Rare/Epic, and Mythical.

The treasure/loot that you can encounter while fishing on OBMC differs from the pool of loot that you may encounter in Vanilla minecraft. While you may see some of the same items, you will also be able to fish up rare loot items!

From any level of fishing, you can encounter the same loot table. However, as your fishing level increases, your Treasure hunting level increases as well. This means that the higher your fishing skill is, the higher your chances are to find better loot!

## Enchanting

You can utilize Vanilla enchants via an enchanting table, or adding books via an anvil. This enchants include

* Lure I-III
* Luck of the Sea I-III
* Mending

## Fishing Minions

On Pandora and Abyss, you may utilize fishing minions. These minions will catch common fish for you when placed in front of at least a 1x1 block of water. They are not able to catch custom fish. Fishing minions do not capture experience, so you will not be able to gain Fishing McMMO, however, they are a good way to receive passive vanilla fish.
