Rods and Lures

Anvian edited this page Aug 13, 2026 · 1 revision

Go Fish rods extend the vanilla fishing-rod behavior. Their special properties are applied when the hook is cast. Lures are kept in the player's inventory and do not need to be held.

Fishing rods

Item ID Durability Special properties
Blaze Rod gofish:blaze_rod 125 Auto-smelts catches and is lava-proof.
Skeletal Rod gofish:skeletal_rod 75 Lava-proof; uses skeleton sounds.
Diamond Reinforced Rod gofish:diamond_reinforced_rod 300 Lava-proof.
Eye of Fishing gofish:ender_rod 250 End-themed rod.
Frosted Rod gofish:frosted_rod 150 Frosted-themed rod.
Slime Rod gofish:slime_rod 150 Uses slime sounds.
Rod of Souls gofish:soul_rod 250 Lava-proof and adds 5 base fishing experience.
Matrix Rod gofish:matrix_rod 200 Matrix-themed rod.
Celestial Rod gofish:celestial_rod 150 Adds 1 Luck of the Sea at night.

All extended rods start with the normal base lure and Luck of the Sea values. They can still receive vanilla fishing enchantments.

Lures and fishing accessories

Item Bonus Availability
Simple Lure +1 lure Crafted from a Feather and Iron Nuggets.
Golden Fish +1 lure An epic item found through fishing loot, including Golden Crates.
Soul Lure +1 Luck of the Sea in Soul Sand Valley Crafted from 2 Soul Salmon and a Simple Lure.

Lures are single-stack items. When the hook is cast, the mod scans the player's inventory and counts each distinct fishing-bonus item type once. Carrying two copies of the same lure does not double its bonus.

Lure and luck rules

  • Lure bonuses are added to the rod's fishing speed and vanilla Lure enchantment, then capped at 5.
  • Luck bonuses are added to the hook's Luck of the Sea value.
  • The Soul Lure only applies while the player is in a Soul Sand Valley.
  • The Celestial Rod's night bonus applies while the world is night.
  • The bonuses also work with vanilla fishing rods because Go Fish modifies the shared fishing-hook behavior.

Auto-smelting

The Blaze Rod has built-in auto-smelting. The Deepfry enchantment can also enable auto-smelting on a fishing rod. When auto-smelting is active, Go Fish looks for a normal furnace recipe for the caught item and returns the recipe result when one exists.

This means auto-smelting works for catches such as Cod, Salmon, Oakfish, Seaweed, Endfish, Carrot Carp, Rainy Bass, and Blackstone Trout whenever the corresponding smelting recipe exists.

Deepfry enchantment

Deepfry is a rare, single-level enchantment for fishing rods. It is compatible with both vanilla and Go Fish rods and activates the auto-smelting behavior described above.

Experience bonuses

Every hook starts with 1 base fishing experience and receives a random vanilla-style addition from 0 to 5 when a catch is retrieved. The Rod of Souls adds 5 to the base value. Other fishing bonuses can also contribute base experience through the shared fishing-bonus system.

Lava-proof rods

The Blaze Rod, Skeletal Rod, Diamond Reinforced Rod, and Rod of Souls are lava-proof. A non-lava-proof rod used in lava loses the hook and is damaged instead of starting a valid lava-fishing cycle.
