Fishing

Fishing is a skill which increases the chance of finding catches, and can pull up useful loot. It also has the Shake ability, which pulls drops from mobs without having to kill them.

  • The mcMMO Fishing Skill Level is maxed at level 1000 on United Factions.

Ranks

Instead of being based directly off skill level like most skills, fishing uses a rank value that determines the strength of most abilities. There are 8 ranks in fishing that are unlocked through obtaining certain levels.

:

Rank Fishing Level
1 0
2 125
3 250
4 375
5 500
6 625
7 700
8 875+
  • Note: The fishing level required usually increments by 125, but rank 6 (625-699) and rank 7 (700-874) do not match this pattern.

Master Angler

As of the 1.7 update, Master Angler is unlocked at level 125 (by default) and can grant 2 different multipliers for your bite chance. By default, the bite chance is 0.2% per tick. This chance by default by either being in a river or ocean biome, being in a boat, or fishing during rain. All of these methods stack.

There are 20 ticks per second, but due to lag, ticks don't happen uniformly, and on laggier servers, one may have a harder time catching fish.

Shake

Shake is an ability that can pull drops and held items from mobs by hooking them with a fishing rod. It can be used repeatedly for a large number of items depending on the remaining health of the mob. However, this reduces the durability of the fishing rod drastically. The fishing rod, when used in this method, will always deal damage equivalent to 25% of the maximum health of the mob. Keep this in mind when fighting tougher creatures such as Iron Golems, as a single shake will deal a considerable amount of damage. If fighting tiny magma cubes it will kill the mob.

Rank (Level) Shake Chance
1 (0) 15%
2 (125) 15%
3 (250) 25%
4 (375) 35%
5 (500) 45%
6 (625) 55%
7 (700) 65%
8 (875)

Note: Spamming your fishing rod can cause a kraken to spawn. You will lose your fishing rod forever.
