Defined in	echo_fish.json

An echo eel is an epic ⭐⭐⭐⭐ fish caught by fishing in the Deep Dark biome. It cooks into cooked large fish, and a Fisherman buys each one for an Obol.

Obtaining

Fishing

The echo eel can be caught in this table. The chances are per cast of a fishing rod and include the junk and treasure rolls.

Climate	Biomes	Weight	Per catch (open water)	Per catch (other water)	Per catch (Luck of the Sea III)
Deep Dark	Deep Dark	7 of 28	11.49%	11.81%	11.45%

In the Deep Dark, the pack's #minecraft:unused biome tag adds a second junk entry, so the Deep Dark table is only picked for 45.95% of catches.

The same tables are also rolled by the fisherman's house chest in villages and by the elder guardian's drops, using the biome at the chest or where the elder guardian dies.

Chance is the probability that a single chest, mob or catch yields at least one, assuming no Looting, Luck or Fortune.

Usage

Food

Raw fish can be eaten, but it heals nothing: Matcha Flavoured removes hunger, and food only heals through the hearts shown on its tooltip. Cooked, it becomes cooked large fish, which heals 5 ( × 2.5).

Cooking

Oven · 5 s, 0.35 XP

Kindling · 5 s, 0.35 XP

Mud Kiln · 5 s, 0.35 XP

The recipes match any minecraft:salmon, so every large fish gives the same result. A Mud Kiln burns it into charred fish instead.

Crafting ingredient

Because it is a salmon underneath, it can be used wherever a raw salmon is accepted: the green curry stock recipe takes any cod or salmon.

Trading

The Fisherman buys 1 caught echo eel for 1 Obol once he reaches Master level. Only fish caught by fishing (with the ⭐⭐⭐⭐ line) are accepted.

Angler's Almanac

The Angler's Almanac has an entry for the echo eel under Deep Dark (listed chance 25%), unlocked by catching one while the almanac tab is open. Its description reads:

A mysterious eel from the Deep Dark that seems perfectly happy living somewhere every noise sounds ten times scarier.

Advancements

• No More Fish in the Sea – catch every fish, including this one. Rewards 10 Obols.
• Fishmonger – sell caught fish to a Fisherman.

History

0.5-alpha	Fishing overhauled into climates with star-rated fish.
1.10	Buffed, since lakes don't generate in its biome.
1.12.1-alpha	Added an Angler's Almanac entry and a catch sound. The item format changed; fish caught before this version can no longer be sold.

Trivia

• The fish is a minecraft:salmon item with the name, texture (matcha:echo_fish) and rarity line set by its loot table.
• Its internal ID is echo_fish.
