Tactical Fishing

Tab: HusbandryDifficulty: Easy

Quick answer: Catch a Fish... without a Fishing Rod!

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

Tree parent: Fishy Business

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

How to get Tactical Fishing

  1. Craft a bucket from 3 iron ingots and fill it with water anywhere.
  2. Find a fish: cod, salmon, pufferfish or tropical fish in rivers and oceans.
  3. Use the water bucket directly ON the fish, not on the water: aim at the fish itself.
  4. The fish scoops straight into your bucket. The bucket of fish completes the advancement.

Tips

A bucketed fish never despawns, making buckets the only way to move live fish: stock an aquarium, carry tropical fish to breed axolotls, or stash a pufferfish for a water breathing potion.
