Picture this: you cast your line into a glittering ocean at sunset, the bobber dips, and up comes a shimmering Mythical fish that makes the whole server chat explode. 🐟✨ That is the magic of PyroFishingPro, the plugin that takes Minecraft’s sleepy little fishing mechanic and turns it into a full-blown treasure hunt with tiers, custom enchantments, tournaments, quests, and a shop that pays you for every fish you land.
I have spent a lot of time fishing with PyroFishingPro, and my favorite part is simple: the fun does not stop when you reel something in. I LOVE selling my catch. 🎣💰 Every fish is a little paycheck waiting to happen.
By the end of this guide you will know exactly how the plugin works, which fish to sell and which to hoard, how to power up your rod, and how to turn a lazy afternoon by the lake into serious in-game money. Grab your rod. We are going deep. 🌊
Ready to turn every cast into coins and every session into a legend? Let’s reel it in! ✨🐠
🐟 What PyroFishingPro Actually Is (and Why Your Rod Just Got Interesting)
PyroFishingPro is a premium plugin made by the developer FateKid for Spigot and Paper based servers. It supports a wide range of versions, from 1.14 all the way into modern releases. You will not find it in a singleplayer world, because it lives on servers.
In vanilla Minecraft, fishing is a pleasant way to collect cod, the odd enchanted book, and approximately four thousand soggy leather boots. PyroFishingPro keeps all of that and piles a whole game on top. Suddenly fishing has its own level, its own currency, its own gear upgrades, and its own economy.
Here is what the plugin brings to the water:
- Custom fish in six tiers 🏅 from common Bronze up to jaw-dropping Mythical.
- A Fishing Level 📈 that is completely separate from vanilla XP and from mcMMO.
- Entropy 🔮, a custom currency used to craft Augments and upgrade Deliveries.
- Augments ⚡, which are custom enchantments that only work on fishing rods.
- Deliveries 📦, mini-quests where you turn in specific fish for rewards.
- Tournaments 🏆 where players compete for prizes.
- A Sell Shop 💰 so every fish can become money.
- Extras like Scales, Gutting, Totems, Baits, Crabs, and a Fish Bag.
The whole thing runs through one command hub: /fish menu. From there you can reach the shop, your stats, the codex, augments, skills, and pretty much everything else. If you forget a command, start there.
One important note before we go further: server owners can customize almost everything. Fish names, sell prices, drop chances, XP values, and augment recipes can all change from server to server. The numbers in this guide are the plugin’s common defaults, so always double-check in-game on your own server.
🏅 The Six Fish Tiers: From Bronze Bites to Mythical Monsters
Once you start fishing, you will notice two kinds of catches. You still pull up vanilla cod, salmon, tropical fish, and pufferfish. Mixed in with those are the custom fish, each stamped with a tier.
Those tiers, from most common to rarest, are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum, and Mythical. Commonly reported default catch chances look roughly like this:
| Tier | Approx. Catch Chance | Default Fishing XP |
|---|---|---|
| 🥉 Bronze | ~60% | 75 |
| 🥈 Silver | ~15% | 150 |
| 🥇 Gold | ~5% | 300 |
| 💎 Diamond | ~1% | 700 |
| 🔷 Platinum | ~0.2% | 1,900 |
| 🌈 Mythical | ~0.04% | 6,000 |
Look at that Mythical number for a second. You are talking about something like one catch in a few thousand. Landing one feels less like fishing and more like winning the lottery while holding a stick. 🎰🐉
Where you fish matters too. Most custom fish only show up in specific biomes, so a fish you need might live exclusively in a swamp, a frozen ocean, or a jungle river. Type /fish codex to see every fish and where it can be caught.
Here is a sneaky detail that trips people up: the game checks the biome where YOU are standing, not where your bobber lands. If you stand on a snowy shore and cast into a plains river, you are fishing in the snowy biome. Plant your feet in the right place. 👣
💰 Selling Your Catch: Turning Fish Into Cold, Hard Cash
This is my favorite part, and I am not even going to pretend otherwise. 💰 Being able to sell what I catch completely changed how I fish. I am not only casting to see whether something rare bites. I am thinking about what my haul is worth and how much a good session can earn.
The Sell Shop is how it works. Type /fish shop and a menu opens where you can sell your fish for your server’s economy currency. Hover over any fish in the shop and it shows you the price, so you always know what a catch is worth before you let it go.
Each tier has its own price, and naturally the rarer the fish, the bigger the payout. Bronze fish are the bread and butter. They show up constantly, and a stack of them adds up quicker than you would think. Gold and Diamond fish are the sweet little bonuses that make you grin when they land. 🤑
For me, the magic is in the loop. Catch fish, sell the catch, make money, upgrade, and go fishing again. 🐟🎣💰 When I have a particularly good haul, selling everything afterward almost feels like collecting my payday for the trip.
That loop is exactly why the plugin is so addictive. Money from fishing can buy better gear, fund your builds, or go into whatever your server’s economy offers. Fishing stops being a side hobby and becomes a real way to earn.
Now, a little wisdom about what to sell. Not every fish should go straight to the shop. We will talk about Deliveries and Gutting in a moment, and both of those want your fish too. Platinum and Mythical fish in particular are usually worth far more held onto than sold, because later progression leans on them heavily.
Feeling brave? There is also /fish scales. Scales lets you gamble a fish for a chance to earn more money than its normal price, or lose it entirely. The odds are set by your server owner. It is a fun little thrill, but I would treat it like dessert, not dinner. 🎲
📈 Fishing Level and Entropy: The Engine Behind Your Progress
Every custom fish you catch gives you two things: Fishing XP and Entropy. These are the fuel tanks for everything else in the plugin.
Fishing XP raises your Fishing Level. This level is its own separate system. It does not touch your vanilla XP bar, and on servers that also run mcMMO, it is completely independent from mcMMO fishing. You can check it any time with /fish stats or through /fish menu.
Your Fishing Level decides a lot. It controls which Augments you are allowed to craft, whether you can build and upgrade a Fishing Totem, and how far you can push your fishing skills. A higher level also helps you pull better catches over time.
Entropy is the plugin’s special currency. 🔮 You spend it to craft Augments and to upgrade your Deliveries. Check how much you have with /fish entropy. You will need a LOT of it, so get comfortable collecting.
There are three main ways to stack Entropy:
- Catching fish 🎣, where every custom catch adds a bit.
- Gutting fish 🔪 with /fish gut, which breaks fish down for bonus Entropy.
- Skills 🧠 in /fish skills, which can boost how much Entropy you earn.
So here is the fun balancing act. Every fish in your bag can be sold for money, gutted for Entropy, or saved for a Delivery. There is no single right answer, and that choice is part of what makes the plugin so satisfying. On days when I want cash, the shop wins. When I am saving up for a shiny new Augment, the gutting table gets busy. 😄
⚡ Augments: Custom Enchantments That Make Your Rod Ridiculous
Augments are where PyroFishingPro gets properly wild. They are custom enchantments that only work on fishing rods, and some of them feel like you are fishing with a magic wand. 🪄
Just to show you the flavor, one Augment called Call of the Storm gives you a chance to catch two fish from a single cast while it is raining. Another, Biome Disruption, lets you catch fish outside their usual biome. There are Augments that summon tornadoes and tsunamis, boost your Entropy from gutting, and a whole lot more. Browse the full list in-game with /fish augments.
Crafting an Augment needs three things:
- The correct ingredients, in exact amounts.
- Enough Entropy.
- A high enough Fishing Level.
Once you have everything, here is the ritual. 🧙 Place a cauldron and fill it with water. Throw the exact ingredients into the cauldron. Then left-click the cauldron with your fishing rod. The Entropy is deducted from your balance automatically, and your Augment pops out.
After that, open the Augment menu and combine the Augment with your rod. Congratulations, your rod is now a little bit legendary. ✨
Some ingredients come from fish, and some come from other sources like Crabs, which we will meet soon. Ingredient recipes can differ between servers, so always check the in-game recipe before dumping your hard-won loot into water.
Rods can only hold a certain number of each Augment. On servers with player trading, extra Augments you craft can still be valuable to other players, which is another sneaky way fishing can earn you money. 💸
Just starting out? A strong vanilla rod is a great base before you get into Augments. Lure III, Luck of the Sea III, Unbreaking III, and Mending will carry you through the early grind nicely.
📦 Deliveries: Mini-Quests With Serious Rewards
Deliveries are little fishing quests. 📜 Each one asks you to turn in specific fish, and when you complete it, you get rewards. Depending on the server, those rewards can include Entropy crystals, special lures, money, and more.
You earn new Deliveries simply by fishing. Keep catching custom fish and fresh quests appear. You start with a limited number of delivery slots, and you can upgrade them with Entropy for more slots, better rewards, and more time to complete them.
This is the biggest reason to not sell everything the moment you catch it. A Delivery might ask for a fish you sold five minutes ago, and there is nothing quite like that little “oh no” moment. 😅 Many experienced players keep a stash of every fish type just for Deliveries.
Some servers set up a giant long-term Delivery as the ultimate goal. A popular version asks you to collect every Mythical fish in exchange for a legendary reward rod. Whether your server has one depends on the setup, but if it does, those Mythical fish in your chest just became treasure. 🏆🌈
Special lures from Deliveries are wonderful too. Depending on the server, you might get lures that boost your chance of Mythical fish, increase Crab appearances, or temporarily raise your Entropy gains.
🏆 Tournaments, Totems, Baits, and Crabs: The Fun Extras
Once you have the core loop down, PyroFishingPro has even more toys to play with. 🎪
Tournaments 🏆 are server events where players compete against each other. The plugin offers several tournament types, like racing to catch the first Platinum fish or landing the longest fish. Server owners can run them manually or schedule them to start automatically, and the rewards can be money, crate keys, or anything else they set up. Admins use the /ft command family to run them.
For a money-minded fisher like me, tournaments are pure joy. You get the rush of competition AND a prize on top of whatever your catch sells for. Double payday energy. 💰💰
Fishing Totems 🗼 are structures you can build and upgrade that grant special effects and passive boosts while you fish. They are tied to your Fishing Level, so they become available as you progress.
Baits 🪱 can be bought or made and push your odds toward rarer fish. On some servers, certain rare fish can only be caught with specific bait, which turns bait into an important part of the hunt.
Crabs 🦀 are adorable little troublemakers that sometimes appear while you fish. They are part of the plugin’s anti-AFK system, since you have to deal with them instead of letting your rod run unattended. The good news is that Crabs drop useful items for crafting Augments, so they are worth the scuffle.
Party fishing 👯 is another lovely bonus. Fishing near friends can give you a boost, and on some servers a full party of three unlocks the maximum bonus. More friends, more fish, more money.
And your Fish Bag 🎒, opened with /fish bag, gives you extra storage for all those fish. Trust me, you will need it once the hauls start rolling in.
🎯 My Money-Making Fishing Game Plan
Let’s pull everything together into a simple routine you can use tonight. 🌙
1. Gear up. Start with the best vanilla rod you can get, then work toward Augments. Bring plenty of storage and grab your Fish Bag.
2. Pick a spot. Check /fish codex and your active Deliveries. Choose a biome that has the fish you need, and remember to stand in that biome yourself.
3. Fish with purpose. Stay active, handle any Crabs that show up, and fish with friends if you can for that party boost.
4. Sort your haul. When your inventory is full, split your catch three ways. Delivery fish go into storage. A portion goes to gutting for Entropy. The rest heads to the shop.
5. Collect your payday. Open /fish shop and cash in. 💰 This is the moment I look forward to most, when a whole session turns into a nice fat number in my balance.
6. Reinvest. Spend your money and Entropy on upgrades: new Augments, more Delivery slots, better bait. Every upgrade makes the next trip more profitable.
7. Cast again. 🎣 That is the loop. It never really ends, and honestly, that is the best part.
🚫 Mistakes to Avoid on the Water
A few easy slip-ups can cost you time, money, or rare fish. Here is what to steer clear of. 🙅
Selling your rare fish too fast. A Platinum fish sells nicely, but it might be worth far more in a Delivery or future progression. Hold your rarest catches until you know what they are needed for.
Trying to AFK fish. PyroFishingPro is built to discourage AFK fishing, and Crabs are there to keep you honest. Many servers also have rules against it. Fish actively and you will do better anyway.
Standing in the wrong biome. Remember, your feet decide the biome, not your bobber. If the fish you want is not biting, check where you are standing.
Guessing Augment recipes. Always check /fish augments first. Recipes are exact and can vary by server.
Placing custom fish as blocks. Some custom fish use special head items. On certain servers, placing them can strip their data. Keep them in chests or item frames instead.
Going all-in on Scales. Gambling your fish is fun, but it can empty your pockets just as easily as it fills them. Keep your bets small. 🎲
🐠 Questions Players Ask Me About PyroFishingPro
How do you sell fish in PyroFishingPro?
Type /fish shop to open the Sell Shop, then sell your custom fish for your server’s economy currency. 💰 Hover over a fish in the shop to see its price before you sell. Each tier has its own value, so rarer fish pay more. The exact prices are set by your server owner, so they can differ from one server to another. My advice is to sell common fish freely and think carefully before selling Platinum or Mythical catches, since those are often needed for Deliveries and later progression.
What is Entropy in PyroFishingPro?
Entropy is the plugin’s custom currency. 🔮 You earn it by catching custom fish, gutting fish with /fish gut, and boosting your gains through /fish skills. You spend Entropy to craft Augments and to upgrade your Delivery slots and rewards. Check your balance any time with /fish entropy. It is separate from your server’s regular money, so you will usually balance selling fish for cash against gutting them for Entropy depending on what you are saving up for.
How rare are Mythical fish in PyroFishingPro?
Very rare! 🌈 With common default settings, Mythical fish land at roughly a 0.04% chance, which works out to about one in a few thousand catches. Platinum fish are also rare at around 0.2%. Server owners can change these odds, so your server might be a bit different. Special lures, bait, and certain Augments can improve your chances. When you finally catch one, hold onto it, because Mythical fish are often the key to the biggest rewards a server offers.
How do you craft augments in PyroFishingPro?
First check the recipe with /fish augments. ⚡ You need the exact ingredients, enough Entropy, and a high enough Fishing Level. Fill a cauldron with water, throw in the precise ingredients, and left-click the cauldron with your fishing rod. The Entropy is deducted automatically and your Augment is created. Then use the Augment menu to combine it with your rod. Recipes can vary by server, so always check in-game before tossing in your materials.
Why am I not catching the fish I need?
The most common reason is biome. 🗺️ Most custom fish only appear in specific biomes, and the plugin checks the biome where you are standing, not where your bobber lands. Open /fish codex to confirm where your target fish lives, then plant your feet in that biome. Some servers also require special bait for higher-tier fish in certain places. The Biome Disruption Augment can help you catch fish outside their normal biome once you unlock it.
Does PyroFishingPro work with mcMMO?
Yes, and they happily run side by side. 🤝 PyroFishingPro’s Fishing Level is completely separate from mcMMO fishing, so progress in one does not replace the other. Some players find that mcMMO fishing perks can shorten the wait between bites, which means more custom fish and more money over a session. Whether your server runs both plugins is up to the server owner, so check what is installed before planning around it.
