Features
Fish
With Tide, you'll have to travel the world to find new fish. Some live in freshwater rivers and lakes while others prefer the oceans. You can either find them swimming around in water, or you can catch them with a fishing rod. Unique fish can also be found underground, with new fish to find depending on how deep you go. You can even find fish in lava pools, the nether, or the end! Fish can be eaten, cooked, crafted into useful items, or sold to fishermen villagers.
Fishing Rods
You can craft special fishing rods using the resources you find in your world by using a smithing table to combine a fishing rod, a piece of string, and a material. These rods have more durability, and some come with unique perks to make your life a little easier.
Bait
To catch fish faster, different types of bait can be crafted, which can be applied to your fishing rod to gain unique bonuses.
Minigame
To reel in a fish, you will have to right click to time the marker with the center of the bar. If you get close enough, and the fish doesn't escape, you will catch it. If you miss, the fish will be lost.
The stronger the fish, the harder it is to catch it. Be careful!
Rod Customizing
Fishing rods can be customized! This is done by crafting an Angling Table, which will allow you to add special hooks, lines, and bobbers to fishing rods. They provide perks including durability bonuses, bobber cosmetics, and lava fishing!
Fishing Journal
A new item that you get from the start of the game can help keep track of the fish you have collected: the Fishing Journal. Any new fish that you catch will be added to this book where you can view their category and some information about them. The book contains many pages that help sort the fish you find into unique categories and track your progress through the mod. This book can be re-crafted with a normal book and any fish if you lose it.
If you're up for a challenge, try getting every entry in the fishing journal. This isn't a task for the faint of heart!
