How to Open the Lucky Fishing Menu and Check Your Stats

The Lucky Fishing menu shows your stats, drop rates, milestone progress, leaderboards and personal settings. It opens with an ordinary Book.

Opening the Menu

1. Get a Book. Craft one from three Paper and one Leather, or take one from a library or village chest.

2. Hold the Book in your main hand. Put it in your hotbar and select that slot.

3. Sneak. Press your crouch control: Shift on keyboard, the sneak button on touch screens, or the stick press on most controllers. The Lucky Fishing menu opens.

If nothing happens, make sure you are holding a Book and not an Enchanted Book or a Book and Quill.

What to Look At

• Stats: Shows your fishing progress, including your total catch count. That count drives the hidden passive luck bonus and your milestones.
• Drop rates: Shows how likely each of the six tiers is: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Mythic. Check it before and during rain or night to see how conditions change your odds.
• Milestone progress: Shows how close you are to your next catch milestone notification.
• Leaderboards: Compares your fishing with other players in the world.
• Settings: Options that apply only to you. Other players keep their own choices.

Keep a Book in a spare hotbar slot next to your fishing rod. You can switch to it, sneak to check your numbers, then switch back without opening your inventory.
