Custom fishing on Slayville II is tied directly to Fishing Tournaments.
Unlike normal Minecraft fishing, Slayville II’s custom fish are only available while a Fishing Tournament is active.
Fishing Tournaments occur every hour, giving players regular opportunities to catch custom fish, compete against other players, and earn bonus money.
Fishing Outside of Tournaments
You can still fish normally at any time.
Outside of a Fishing Tournament, fishing can still contribute to systems such as:
- Fisherman Job progression
- mcMMO Fishing progression
- Normal Minecraft fishing
- General fishing rewards
However, custom Slayville II fish will not be caught outside of an active Fishing Tournament.
If you are specifically trying to collect custom fish, watch for the next tournament to begin.
Hourly Fishing Tournaments
A new Fishing Tournament takes place approximately every hour.
When a tournament begins, players can start fishing and attempt to complete the current tournament objective.
During the tournament, custom fish become available to catch.
This means tournaments are not only competitions — they are also your opportunity to expand your custom fish collection.
Catching Custom Fish
While a Fishing Tournament is active, your catches may include custom Slayville II fish.
Custom fish can vary by:
- Species
- Rarity
- Size
- Value
- Fishing conditions
- Time requirements
- Other special requirements
Some fish are much easier to catch than others, while rare fish may take considerable time or luck to find.
Custom Fish Rarities
Custom fish are divided into different rarity levels.
Rarer fish may be:
- More difficult to catch
- More valuable
- Better collectibles
- More desirable to other players
- Connected to special fishing conditions
Catching a rare fish can therefore be valuable even if it does not directly help with the current tournament objective.
Tournament Objectives
Not every Fishing Tournament is the same.
The objective may change from one tournament to another.
Depending on the tournament, players may compete to:
- Catch the largest fish
- Catch the most fish
- Catch a specific type of fish
- Catch rare fish
- Complete another fishing-related objective
Always pay attention to the tournament announcement so you know what counts toward the current competition.
Bonus Money
Fishing Tournaments provide an opportunity to earn bonus money in addition to the normal benefits of fishing.
This makes tournaments valuable even for players who are not focused on collecting fish.
During a tournament, you may be progressing several systems at once:
- Custom fish collection
- Tournament standings
- Bonus money
- Fisherman Job progression
- mcMMO Fishing progression
- Player economy value
This makes tournament fishing one of the most rewarding times to grab a fishing rod.
Fishing and the Fisherman Job
Players using the Fisherman Job can benefit even further from tournament fishing.
While participating, you may earn normal Fisherman Job rewards while also attempting to catch custom fish and compete for tournament bonuses.
This allows the same fishing session to contribute to both Job progression and tournament rewards.
mcMMO Fishing
Fishing also contributes to your mcMMO Fishing skill.
Tournament participation can therefore help you work toward:
- Fisherman Job levels
- mcMMO Fishing levels
- Custom fish collection
- Tournament rewards
- Economy income
Watch for Tournament Announcements
Because custom fish are only available during Fishing Tournaments, watch server announcements for the next event.
With tournaments occurring every hour, you will regularly have another opportunity to participate.
If you miss one, you will not have to wait long for the next.
Collecting Custom Fish
Players who want to build a large custom fish collection should participate in tournaments regularly.
Each tournament gives you another chance to find:
- New species
- Rare fish
- Larger catches
- Valuable fish
- Special collectibles
The more tournaments you participate in, the better your chances of discovering some of Slayville II’s rarest catches.
The Important Part
If you remember only one thing about custom fishing, remember this:
Custom Slayville II fish can only be caught during active Fishing Tournaments.
Fishing Tournaments take place every hour and provide opportunities to catch custom fish, compete against other players, and earn bonus money.
When the tournament starts, grab your fishing rod and get to the water.
