Minecraft Fishing Loot
Every catch a fishing rod can reel in, with the exact chance per catch from the fishing loot tables in Java 26.3: the fish, junk and treasure split, every item in each, and what Luck of the Sea and Lure change.
With a plain rod every catch is 85% fish, 10% junk and 5% treasure, and treasure only comes from open water (no blocks around the bobber). Luck of the Sea III raises treasure to 11.3% and cuts junk to 4.12%. Raw Cod is the most common catch at 51%. Treasure is Bow, Enchanted Book, Fishing Rod, Name Tag, Nautilus Shell, Saddle.
