Fishing

Fishing on Survival is much more than in vanilla. In addition to ordinary fish, you can catch custom fish in six quality tiers, collect fishing XP and entropy, craft augments for your rod and compete in fishing tournaments.

Fish Quality

With every catch, you have a chance to catch a custom fish. The higher its quality, the more you get for it.

Quality	Catch Chance
Bronze	60 %
Silver	15 %
Gold	5 %
Diamond	1 %
Platinum	0,3 %
Mythical	0,06 %

Some fish only live in certain biomes – you can find out what you can catch and where in the codex. Occasionally, you may catch a crab instead of a fish. Crabs and other creatures drop materials for augments (crab claws and scales, squid tentacles, dolphin tails).

Shop (/fish shop) – sell fish for money
Orders – deliver a certain number of fish and receive a reward
Codex – a list of all fish and where they live
Fishing Backpack (/fish bag) – fish are stored in your backpack and won't fill up your inventory
Fish Gutting – obtain entropy from fish
Skills – fishing skills (more entropy, better catches, catch combos…)
Baits – overview of available baits
Augments – crafting augments and equipping them on your rod
Totems – totems that temporarily improve fishing for everyone nearby

Fish shop — /fish shop – deposit your fish and sell them

Baits and Winter Fish

Baits drop from Fishing Crates and can also be crafted (see Fishing Recipes below). Drag the bait onto your fishing rod and it will last for a certain number of catches. With bait, you can still catch regular fish, but you can also catch winter fish that cannot be caught without it.

Bait	Uses	Unlocks Fish
Worms	32	Frost Roach (Silver)
Lure	20	Frost Trout (Gold), Ice Pike (Diamond)
Frost Fly	8	Polar Salmon (Diamond), Crystal Eel (Platinum)

Fishing Recipes

You can craft baits and chum at a regular crafting table. Recipes have no specific shape – you can place the ingredients anywhere in the grid. You can also find them in the recipe book. The fish used in a recipe must be a caught fish of the required quality (regular cod or salmon won't work), and crab and dolphin materials drop while fishing and from Fishing Crates.

Result	Ingredients
2× Worms (bait, 32 uses)	4 Dirt, Fermented Spider Eye, Bronze Fish
2× Lure (bait, 20 uses)	4 Gold Nuggets, String, Crab Scale, Silver Fish
Frost Fly (bait, 8 uses)	2 Prismarine Crystals, Feather, Blue Ice, Dolphin Tail, Gold Fish
Crab Chum	2 Kelp, 2 Crab Claws, Crab Scale, Silver Fish
Platinum Bait	2 Squid Tentacles, Dolphin Tail, Diamond, Diamond Fish
Mythical Bait	2 Squid Tentacles, 2 Dolphin Tails, Ender Eye, Amethyst Shard, Platinum Fish

Chum is used by right-clicking – it temporarily increases your chances: Crab Chum for crabs (+200 %), Platinum Bait for platinum fish (+250 %), Mythical Bait for mythical fish (+250 %). All three can also drop from Fishing Crates.

ℹ️ Warning: You cannot open a crafting table while holding a squid tentacle or other fishing material – hold something else instead.

Entropy and Augments

Entropy is the fishing currency. You earn it from catches and gutting fish (the better the fish, the more you get). You can use entropy and materials to craft augments – upgrades that you equip on your rod. Each augment requires a certain fishing level.

Augments: Saturation, Intellect, Perception, Hot Spot, Crab Bait, Biome Disruption, Precision Cutting, Sage, Storm Call, Solar Wrath, Master Fisherman and Trophy. They can be crafted or won from the Fishing Crate.

Fishing Totem

Starting at fishing level 20, you can build your own totem – one per player. When active, it improves fishing for you and everyone else within its range (more XP, more fish, schools of fish, treasures…).

In /fish menu → Totems, you can see what the totem structure should look like. Build it exactly according to the picture.
Click the first observer in the structure with a fishing rod.
The totem requires items to awaken: 6 Platinum Fish, 16 Crab Scales, 16 Crab Claws and 16 Dolphin Tails.
Then activate it by clicking in the Totems menu. It runs for a while and then needs to be recharged. You can use entropy to upgrade its range, duration, faster recharge and unlock passive abilities (at fishing levels 20, 40 and 60).

Fishing Tournaments

Fishing tournaments take place regularly – whoever catches the most fish within the given time wins:

Place	Reward
1st	500 $ + 10 ❖ + Voting Key + 2× Fishing Key
2nd	250 $ + 5 ❖ + Fishing Key
3rd	190 $ + 3 ❖ + Fishing Key
every participant	5,000 Entropy

💡 Tip: You can find a fishing area at /warp Fisherman. Take the Fisherman job and your Fishing skill will level up automatically.
