Trident Fishing is CosmicSky's brand new fishing system introduced in Map #10! Cast aside the old fishing rod and take up the mighty Trident to harvest fish from Bait Blocks placed in water.
Bait Blocks
Bait Blocks are the foundation of the new fishing system, replacing the traditional fishing rod mechanics.
Obtaining Bait Blocks
- Bait Blocks can be obtained directly from Island Quests, Adventure, and various other sources
- Bait Blocks may also be crafted with 9x Bait Block Fragments, found in /adventure
Using Bait Blocks
- Place a Bait Block inside a water block
- After a 60-second respawn time, a fish will spawn!
- The spawned fish mob cannot move and cannot be damaged via typical means (swords, axes, etc.)
- Fish must be slain using a Trident
Placement Rules
- Bait Blocks cannot be placed directly next to or above each other
- Island Limit: 100 Bait Blocks can be placed per island at release
- This limit will be increased over the first several days of the map as performance is monitored
The Trident
The Trident is the new /is tool for Fishing, replacing the Fishing Rod. It allows players to harvest fish from Bait Blocks on their island.
- The Trident may only be used on the Island and provides no use for PVP/PVE content
Trident Combat Styles
Players can use their Trident in one of two ways:
Throwing Your Trident
- Instantly kills any fish it hits
- Awards an increased amount of drops from fish slain
- Has a short cooldown between throws
- Cooldown can be reduced via the Fishing Mask, Trident Attributes, etc.
Melee Attacks
- Left-click your trident to deal melee damage to fish
- Higher-tiered fish have more HP
- Deal more damage via Trident Attributes, passively earned from leveling up your /is tool
Trident Tiers
Tridents can only kill fishing mobs up to their corresponding adventure tier:
| Trident Tier | Maximum Fish Tier |
|---|---|
| Stone Trident | Up to Axolotl |
| Iron Trident | Up to Dolphin |
| Diamond Trident | Up to Glow Squid |
| Nether Trident | Up to Guardian |
Fish Drops
- All fish now drop a single item (simplified from the previous system with secondary drops)
- There is no longer a distinction between "Fresh" and "Farmed" fish – all fish are simply Fish
