Fishing

How Fishing XP is earned depends on whether a fishing mod is installed:

With a fishing mod (e.g., HyFishing)

When HyFishing is installed, Fishing XP comes exclusively from rod catches. Killing fish mobs awards weapon combat XP (or nothing) like any other mob — no Fishing XP is awarded from kills in any combat mode.

Without a fishing mod

Without a fishing integration, the plugin recognizes 18+ aquatic mob types and routes them to Fishing XP instead of weapon XP. This behavior depends on the active combat XP mode:

  • Per-Hit and Kill-Only — Fish kills award Fishing XP (the only way to level Fishing without a mod)
  • Damage+Kill — Fish kills award weapon kill XP like any other mob (damage hits already award weapon XP)
  • Damage — No special fish handling; weapon XP from damage hits only
