Fishing

Fishing is the use of a fishing rod to obtain items, usually fish.

To fish, the player must use a fishing rod to cast the line into a body of water. The player's position does not matter; the player can be in the water, underwater, sitting in a boat, or standing on adjacent land. The depth, size, or origin (player-created or generated) of the body of water does not affect the player's ability to fish in it, but some of these parameters may affect wait times and the possibility of catching treasure; see below.

Once the bobber hits water, the wait time is determined, and the player must wait for a random period between 5 and 30 seconds (100 to 600 ticks at 20 ticks per second) before the hook catches something. Small splashes can be seen around the bobber while it is in the water.
