Fish Trap

When placed, a Fish Trap will collect fish over time. A Fish Trap requires a 3x1x3 area of Water above it to work, and it will display bubbles when set up properly.

A Fish Trap can fill with up to five fish. Each time it does so, it plays a sound and its texture updates showing how many fish are inside. A Fish Trap has a 5% chance to trap a fish every 10 seconds.

Fish Traps are a lot less efficient if another Fish Trap is within 15 blocks. Make sure you space them out!

Players can right-click the top of a Fish Trap to release any fish caught inside.

The fish type caught is based on the same loot table that catching fish in that area uses. So, for example, a Fish Trap in a River-type biome has a higher chance of catching Salmon.

Breaking a Fish Trap will also release the fish inside.

A Fish Trap cannot catch other items such as treasure or junk.

If a Cat is within 20 blocks and has at least 90 favor, the time it takes for a Fish Trap to catch fish is boosted (see Cat Bartering Mechanics).
