Fish and Food

Anvian edited this page Aug 13, 2026 · 1 revision

Go Fish adds catches for every dimension and for several world conditions. Many catches are edible, while others are crafting ingredients or direct sources of vanilla materials.

Overworld catches

Condition Fish and catches
Icy biomes Icicle Fish, Snowball Fish
Swamp or Mangrove Swamp Slimefish, Lilyfish
Ocean Seaweed Eel
Badlands Terrafish
Plains or Forest Carrot Carp, Oakfish
Full moon at night Lunarfish, Galaxy Starfish, Starry Salmon, Nebula Swordfish
Rain Rainy Bass
Thunderstorm Thundering Bass
Snowing Blizzard Bass
Y 150 or higher Cloudy Crab

The same catch can satisfy more than one condition when the world state overlaps. For example, a thunderstorm is also rain.

Seaweed is not a direct entry in the current custom fish pool. It is found in crate loot, while Seaweed Eel can be converted into Seaweed.

Nether catches

Any Nether biome Smokey Salmon, Magma Cod, Bonefish, Obsidian Halibut, Basalt Bass, Spikerfish
