Wild Fish
Most fish you see swimming in natural water are scenery. They show species that can live there, but can't be caught or touched, and they don't affect your catch odds.
Settings:
/fishtasticambient enabled <true|false>-
/fishtasticambient density <0-100>(default 50)
Fish marked with sparkles are visitors, and these can be caught. Schools stay for a while and then move on.
- Hold a Fishtastic rod and cast near the school.
- A fish may swim to your bobber. It takes one of that cast's target slots.
- Land it in the minigame to catch it. That fish is then gone for every player.
Your bait doesn't change which fish it is, and your bait and hook don't affect its quality. Its trail colour shows its quality.
To hide the sparkling fish on your screen, use /fishtasticambient schools visible false.
Hold a spyglass on an ambient or visiting fish for one second, from up to 96 blocks away. This adds its name, portrait and broad habitat to your Fishopedia.
Observing doesn't count as a catch: it gives no tokens or quest progress. Unlisted species can't be observed.
