# ✦ ── PyroFishing

Fishing on Coppercore goes far beyond catching ordinary cod and salmon.

**PyroFishing** expands Minecraft's fishing system with hundreds of possible catches and an entire progression system built around fishing, including custom fish, rarities, levels, skills, Entropy, augments, deliveries, tournaments and much more.

Whether you're just looking for something relaxing to do, trying to complete your Fish Codex, or planning to become Coppercore's undisputed fishing champion, there's plenty to work towards.

You can access the main fishing menu at any time using:

`/fish menu`

**Tip:** PyroFishing has a lot of different systems, but you don't need to understand all of them immediately. You can start by simply fishing and explore the other features as you progress.

### Where Should I Start?

If you've never used PyroFishing before, head to **Getting Started** first.

You don't need special equipment or an upgraded fishing rod to begin - grab a fishing rod, find some water and start fishing!

As you catch custom fish, gain Fishing XP and begin collecting Entropy, the rest of PyroFishing's systems will gradually become useful to you.

**Final reminder:** You don't need to master every PyroFishing feature at once. Catch some fish, explore the system at your own pace, and use these guides whenever you encounter something new.
