Crates

Crates are collectible fishing rewards that can be placed as blocks or opened directly as items. They stack to 8 and use their own loot tables.

Where crates are found

Crate	Fishing location
Wooden Crate	General Overworld fishing
Iron Crate	General Overworld fishing
Golden Crate	General Overworld fishing and Nether fishing
Diamond Crate	General Overworld fishing
Supply Crate	Plains, forests, and rivers in the Overworld
Frosted Crate	Icy biomes
Slimey Crate	Swamp and Mangrove Swamp biomes
Astral Crate	Fishing under a full moon in the Overworld
Fiery Crate	Nether fishing
Soul Crate	Soul Sand Valley fishing
Gilded Blackstone Crate	Basalt Deltas fishing
End Crate	End fishing

Crate entries are selected through fishing loot tables. The location conditions above are more important than the crate's appearance: moving to another biome or dimension changes the available table.

Opening a crate

1. Hold the crate item.
2. Hold sneak and use the item while looking at air or a block.
3. The crate is consumed for survival players and its loot is dropped at the player's position.

Opening a crate does not create a chest GUI. If the player is sneaking while targeting a block, the item refuses the placement interaction so that sneak-use opens the crate instead.

Fake players and automated fishing systems receive the vanilla fishing table and cannot obtain Go Fish crates through fishing.

Players in Creative mode do not consume the crate.

Breaking placed crates

Crates can be placed and mined as blocks. The current project definitions assign these intended tool tiers:

Tool requirement	Crates
Axe	Wooden Crate, Supply Crate
Stone pickaxe or better	Iron Crate, Frosted Crate
Iron pickaxe or better	Golden, Diamond, Fiery, Soul, Gilded Blackstone, and Astral Crates
Diamond pickaxe or better	End Crate

These tiers describe the current project tags and block material definitions. A modpack that overrides the relevant tags can change effective harvesting behavior.

Crate progression

Wooden, Iron, Golden, and Diamond Crates form the general Overworld progression. Biome and dimension crates add specialized rewards rather than simply upgrading the same table. Astral and End Crates are especially valuable because they contain unique fish, rods, and treasure.
