Luck of the Sea is an enchantment to a fishing rod that increases luck while fishing.

Usage[]

With the default loot tables, this enchantment increases the chance of "treasure" catches (by about 2% per level), while greatly lowering the chance of "junk" catches (by about 2% per level) and slightly lowering the chance of fish catches (by about 0.15% per level).

Probabilities with default loot tables:

Category Chance in category
Unenchanted Luck of the Sea
IIIIII
Fish 85% 84.8% 84.7% 84.5%
Treasure 5% 7.1% 9.2% 11.3%
Junk 10% 8.1% 6.1% 4.2%

If commands are used to increase the enchantment level beyond 84, the biting animation still happens. However, no item will be caught when reeled in.
