One of the most significant changes with the new fishing system is that fishing-related tools, baits, and creatures are no longer considered items the way they were with the old fish command. While this change may take some getting used to, making this switch opens the door for us to introduce tons of exciting new features we think users will love.

What is the difference?

The new fishing tools, baits, and creatures not being items means:

• They won’t be visible in /inventory
• You can’t trade them to friends or sell/buy them on the market
• You can’t put them in your showcase
• You won’t see them in /currencylog

The only place you can see the new fishing tools, baits, and creatures is through the new /fish commands. With the /fish catch command, you can click the “equipment” button to see what tools and baits you own. You can also go to the page for the baits or tools in your /fish guide to see how many you have.

Any fish you’ve collected will be trackable in your /fish log. You can view, sell, and manage the creatures you’ve caught using the /fish buckets command and even choose to display a creature in your /fish tank.

The old fishing pole, bait, and creature items from the old fishing command will remain in your inventory, but they cannot be used with the new command.

Why are they different?

We want the new fishing command to be more immersive and interactive than ever before, and to do that, we need to be able to make each fish you catch a distinct item so it can have unique data. Making each fish or creature unique means we can do things like track the size or length of what is caught, create more varieties of bait and tools, let you give your fish unique names, create tons of variants for each creature, and so much more.

Moving the old fishing creatures into the new system wouldn’t be possible given how many exist, bucket limits, and all the data we’d have to create. Doing things this way allows the old fish collectors to keep their collections, and everyone can start the new fishing command on equal footing. No one has an advantage, and no one has to sell their old collection for more bucket space so they can use the new command.

We know it is a big change, but we're excited to offer you a more dynamic and enjoyable fishing experience, and we can't wait for you to explore the unique possibilities of our revamped fishing system.
