Custom Fishing
Learn the fundamentals of PeanutSMP’s custom fishing system and progress toward becoming a fishing master.
Custom fishing is an in-game mechanic that allows players to catch fish that do not exist in vanilla Minecraft. These fish feature custom textures, names, and weights, and can be sold at any time at the /fishmarket.
#Getting Started
All fishing-related features are handled dynamically through the /fish menu. From here, you can access the Fishing Index, Fishing Catalogue, Fish Market, and your Fishing Bag.
Fishing Index – Track and view all fish you’ve discovered.
Fishing Catalogue – Spend your shark tails on fishing-related rewards.
Fish Market – Sell fish and other fishing-related items.
Fishing Bag – Retrieve fishing items when your inventory is full.
#Fishing Rarities
Custom fish on PeanutSMP have unique rarity tiers known as Silver Star and Golden Star fish.
Silver Star fish have a higher base sell price than regular fish, while Golden Star fish are even more valuable, offering a higher base sell price than Silver Star fish.
You can increase your chances of catching higher-tier fish by using special fishing rods available in the Fishing Catalogue.
#Fishing Contests
Every 8 hours, a global fishing contest begins on PeanutSMP. A minimum of 5 players must be online for the contest to start, otherwise, it will be cancelled.

1st Place – 300x Shark Tails
