Fishy Business

Tab: HusbandryDifficulty: Easy

Quick answer: Catch a fish

Tree path: Husbandry › Fishy Business (advancements are independent: they can be completed in any order; the tree only guides progression)

Tree parent: Husbandry

Advancements are exclusive to Java Edition. The Bedrock Edition equivalent is achievements, which have different objectives.

How to get Fishy Business

  1. Craft a fishing rod: 3 sticks diagonally plus 2 string.
  2. Cast into any body of water, even a hole you dug and filled yourself.
  3. Watch the bobber: a trail of bubbles approaches, then it dips under with a splash.
  4. Reel in the instant it dips. Landing a cod, salmon, tropical fish or pufferfish item completes the advancement.

Tips

The Lure enchantment makes fish bite much faster, and Luck of the Sea improves the loot table toward treasure (name tags, enchanted books, saddles). Fishing in the rain also speeds up bites.
