How the game works it out
| Weights | Each table and each catch has a weight; luck changes a weight by its quality times the luck, rounded down, never below 0 |
| Luck | Luck of the Sea adds 1 per level; the Luck effect adds 1 per level and the Bad Luck effect takes 1 away |
| Open water | The 5 by 5 blocks around the bobber, from 1 below it to 2 above, each layer all water source blocks or all air and lily pads, the bottom layer water, water layers under air layers, and this the whole time the bobber waits; only then can treasure come |
| Bamboo | Bamboo is caught only in Jungle, Sparse Jungle and Bamboo Jungle |
| Lure | Lure makes a fish bite sooner and does not change what is caught |
