The Angler from Terraria is now in bedrock! Experience custom fishing for quest fish, custom trading, wooden crates and new fish tools with this add-on!
This is the updated version for 1.17; throwable fish weapons are fixed and the Angler model is more accurate to the original. Be sure to check below for updates! If you have an old version and want to update to this one, apply both resource and behavior packs to the world, then delete the older versions.
The Angler The Angler is an NPC from Terraria. He is a fisherman that will trade you all sorts of loot (including wooden crates) for quest fish. He is a utility mob that will defend himself from monsters, and will never attack you even if you hit him first. You can find him spawning on beaches, or much like his original counterpart, floating on water. Fishing Custom fishing has been added, where new Terraria quest fish have a slightly higher chance of being caught instead of regular fish. Simply use your rod and wait for a bite! Rates are different depending on the fish's rarity, with the golden fishing rod being the rarest treasure you can find! Although not a fish, the golden fishing rod is the rarest catch you can get. Trading this to the Angler will always get you a full stack of diamonds, so don't give up! Crates Crates act similarly to lucky blocks, you get random loot when destroying them. Simply put a crate down and punch it a few times, and you will get your loot. You can trade with the Angler to get them, or you can fish them up. Trading The Angler has his own custom trading box, where he will trade you various items for quest fish. You can also buy fishing rods from him for 3 emeralds. In order to unlock all trades, keep trading as this will level him up, you also get exp from this. This will also heal him for a bit. After trading, wait a few seconds and he will start healing and restock his trades immediately. Below is a list of all trades: 1. 3 emeralds -> Fishing Rod 2. Bonefish -> Frost Daggerfish 3.

Golden Fishing Rod -> 64 Diamonds Fish Tools and Consumables 6 fish-themed items have been added to the game. Take note that not all fish tools work perfectly, but will be fixed in the future. Some of these fish items can only be obtained by fishing, while the others you can get from the Angler. Swordfish The swordfish works like other swords with no other effects. It has the same strength as a diamond sword but never breaks. Rockfish The rockfish is a strong weapon that is stronger than any other melee weapon, dealing 11 damage. However it gives you Slowness II for a few seconds while you're holding it. Sawtooth Shark The sawtooth shark is a tool that works like a chainsaw, like its original counterpart. Holding it gives you Haste that lets you cut through wood very quickly, the effect lasts for a few seconds. To trigger the effect again, just re-equip the item or drink milk first, then equip the item again. Frost Daggerfish The frost daggerfish is a throwable weapon that spins when thrown. They deal 7 damage and break when they hit something. The Angler also uses this weapon. To throw this weapon, simply press and hold like you're eating an apple, or right click and hold if you're on pc. Note that this a lobbed weapon, so aim higher if you want to reach a farther target. Bomb Fish The bomb fish is a throwable sticky bomb. Like the frost daggerfish, press and hold or right click and hold to throw a bomb at a target or wall, and wait for it to detonate after a few seconds. This bomb sticks on any surface when thrown, so you can aim at specific spots with this weapon. A spinning animation was added so it's easier to spot. Honeyfin The honeyfin is a potion item that heals you for a small amount. In case potions of healing or regen are hard to get early game, this will be a very useful item! All consumable fish can be fished up, or you can trade for them from the Angler. You can check the short showcase video below for a better look of the add-on. And while you're at it, subscribe to the channel for more updates :D IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. Because this update has a custom player entity file, it may not work with weapon add-ons, etc. 2. The Angler is a strong mob that will attack monsters, and will never attack you even if you hit him. 3. Sadly the golden fishing rod isn't usable, and no the Angler will not drop his own. Attacking him is a bad idea. 4. Crates are custom entities, not blocks. This is why they work for the 1.16 update. 5. The fish tool effects last for a few seconds. Re-equip the tools, or drink milk first then equip them again if you want to use the effects again.
