Choose a fishing spot

You can earn catches wherever Minecraft produces a valid catch. Aerborne adds no minimum pond size, depth or open-sky requirement. It does not force vanilla fish to bite in an otherwise unusable spot.

On islands, the bobber must be inside your own island or a joined co-op. Visitors cannot earn catches in someone else's island pond. In shared waters, the bobber's biome determines the habitat.

Set an island habitat

In /fishing, Pond Habitat changes the shared pond selection without changing terrain or biome. Favoured species are four times as likely; other species remain possible.

Stage Habitat
Settler Freshwater
Workshop River
Sanctuary Wetland
Foundry Ocean
Aetherworks Cold Water

Keep your catches

Turn fish in to Ivo to record collections and earn angling reputation. With default tuning, common/uncommon/rare/legendary catches give 25/37/65/145 Fishing XP, before applicable bonuses. Cancelled catches give no rewards.

Shared-zone streaks can attract creatures. Fishing does not summon encounter mobs onto private islands.
