Defined inecho_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.[1] 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 21.25% 22.37% 22%

In 1.12.7-beta the biome tables had no weight of their own, so the Deep Dark table was picked for only 1 catch in 16 in open water (1.56% for an echo eel); 1.12.8-beta restored its weight of 85 (see Fishing#Choosing the catch).[2]

The same tables are also rolled by the drops of guardians and elder guardians, using the biome where the mob 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).

The recipes match any minecraft:salmon, so every large fish gives the same result.[3] 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.[4]

Trading

The Fisherman buys 1 caught echo eel for 1 Obol once he reaches Master level. Only fish with the ⭐⭐⭐⭐ rarity line, which the fishing loot tables add, are accepted.[5]

Angler's Almanac

The Angler's Almanac has an entry for the echo eel under Deep Dark (listed chance 25%), unlocked by catching one after the player has obtained the almanac.[6] 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.

1.12.7-beta The Deep Dark no longer adds a second junk entry, but the reworked fishing table makes every biome's fish much rarer (see Fishing#History).[7]
1.12.8-beta
October 23, 2026
The Deep Dark table weighs 85 again, so an echo eel is 21.25% of open-water catches there instead of 1.56%.[8]

Trivia

  • The fish is a minecraft:salmon item with the name, texture (matcha:echo_fish) and rarity line set by its loot table.[9]
  • Its internal ID is echo_fish.
