Water & Fishing

Water Mechanics

Water appears throughout the Corewilds world as oceans, rivers, lakes and underground streams. Water blocks have unique physics and gameplay interactions.

Swimming

• Players move slower in water than on land
• Jump (Space) while in water to swim upward
• Stamina drains while swimming — manage your sprint carefully
• You cannot mine blocks while swimming (must stand on solid ground)
• Water blocks are found in Shore, Forest (rivers), Cave (underground rivers) and Mountain (lakes) biomes

Fishing Rod

To fish, you first need to craft a Fishing Rod:

• Recipe: 3 sticks + 2 string (crafted at Workbench)
• Durability: ~100 casts before breaking
• Usage: Equip and right-click while facing water to cast. Wait for a bite (bobber animation), then right-click again to reel in.
