30	Coal, charcoal, clay balls	25%
40	Lapis, redstone, glowstone, nether quartz	30%
45	Same items — sometimes 2 fish at once	30%
50	Raw iron, raw gold (nether quartz more likely)	33%
55	Same items — sometimes 3 fish at once	35%
60	Emeralds, amethyst shards	37%
70	Golden apple, trident	38%
75	Same items — sometimes 4 fish at once	38%
80	Diamonds, shulker shell, Heart of the Sea	40%
90	Netherite scrap, ancient debris, wither skeleton skull	40%
99	All tiers active — always 3 fish; 0.5% Elytra per catch	40%

Level 2

Journeyman

Fish go directly into the linked chest. The Fisherman pauses automatically when the chest is full and resumes when space is available.

Summoning

1Craft a Fisherman's Contract (see Crafting above).
2Stand near a chest and drop the item (Q) so it lands on top of the chest.
3The Fisherman spawns on the chest and is linked automatically.

Upgrading

1Craft the appropriate Promotion badge (Heart of the Sea for Lv 2, Echo Shard for Lv 3).
2Drop the badge within 2 blocks of the Fisherman.
3He consumes the badge, levels up, and announces the upgrade in chat.

Dismissing

Drop a Fire Charge within 2 blocks of the Fisherman to dismiss him. He and his chest-link are removed cleanly.

Notes

✓ Multiple Fishermen can be active at once, each linked to their own chest.
✓ The Fisherman will not trade with you.

🏆 Achievements

🗡️

Barbaric Fishing

Kill a cod, salmon, tropical fish, or pufferfish while holding any sword.

Challenge

⚙️ Admin Commands

Check a player's fishing stats

scoreboard players get <player> fishpack.level
scoreboard players get <player> fishpack.xp

Set a player's fishing level manually

scoreboard players set <player> fishpack.level <0-99>
execute as <player> run function fishpack:fishing/set_xp_needed

List all active Fisherman villagers

/tag @e[type=minecraft:villager] list

Remove all Fishermen and their chest links

/kill @e[type=minecraft:villager,tag=fishpack.fisherman]
/kill @e[type=minecraft:marker,tag=fishpack.chest_anchor]

Both kill commands are needed — killing the villager alone leaves an orphaned marker that blocks re-linking the chest.
